Quand j’étais petite, je voterai

In the classroom, it’s time to elect the student representative. In the running: Anar, the “people’s candidate,” and Cachot, who swears by the law of the jungle. Lune, a brilliant and politically active middle school student, is on the fence… Ready to face off, each launches into a ruthless campaign! Written in the wake of the 2002 presidential election, Boris Leroy’s novel humorously immerses us in the atmosphere of a crazy day on the campaign trail. In this adaptation by Émilie Capliez, Lune—who was previously a supporting character—takes center stage. Skillfully crafted as a brief guide to democracy, this production brings to life abstract concepts such as citizenship, freedom of expression, and universal suffrage. On stage, the actors burst with all the vitality of adolescence. A family outing par excellence!
