Folé!
Olé!

Synopsis:
Nanette Foley (pronounced, Folé!, rhymes with olé!),
Parisian actress extraordinaire, calls upon a team of contractors to turn her
mundane home in Yonkers into a palais français. She, along with her lifelong
companion, Philip, (pronounced
Phillipe!), demand an oral presentation, each artist’s raison-d'être in the
form of performance art, before they begin their respective jobs. Nanette
demonstrates with her own walk down memory lane in which she reminisces about a
torrid affair with French playwright and philosopher, Eugene Ionesco. Tempers
flare, more money is offered, feeble attempts at performance art are made, and
finally blood is drawn in the pursuit of Nanette’s angst-ridden
existentialism. The entire crew walks out, but not before Phillipe shoots
Nanette literally in the foot.
After the crew’s departure, both Phillipe and Nanette
attempt to do the impossible—use hand tools. Before they kill each other with
hammers, dueling saber saws, and a runaway sewing machine, the crew returns and
takes pity on the duo. Once again they find themselves in the same performance
art predicament as in Act I, including the prospect of another armed assailant.
Armed with a surprise ending of her own, Nanette leads them through this
artistic morass of home renovation into a new understanding of existentialism
and an appreciation for the performing arts.
