The story of Lia is that of her fantasy, of her journey from one situation to another in which, through imagination, she fulfills her desires.<\/p>\n Each situation corresponds to a pledge made by the character. The first is that of finding a lover, the ideal. The fourth, being a lesbian, and the fifth, being a mother. Five vows in five chapters: My Man, The Brothel, The Courtesan, Lesbos, and Ave, Maria!<\/p>\n The protagonist\u2019s erotic monologue is a journey in which we hear both Lia\u2019s voice and the female voices in which she envelops herself \u2013 Billie Holiday, Edith Piaf. The reader travels hearing and transporting himself to the places Lia dreams about: Paris, Buenos Aires, New York…<\/p>\n In this text, the heroine gives scant importance to sexual gratification and says that even in the brothel the only requisite should be pleasure. What interests her is the dreamed-of sex, and this is why Betty Milan, evoking Fernando Pessoa, says in the introduction that \u201con earth it is as necessary to dream as to navigate.\u201d<\/p>\n The play is in five acts and was written for three actors: a woman in the role of Lia, a man embodying \u201cThe Voice,\u201d and a boy in the role of the son.<\/p>\n![\"a-paixao-de-lia\"](\"https:\/\/www.bettymilan.com.br\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/04\/a-paixao-de-lia.jpg\")
