Quand j'étais petite je voterai

In this adaptation of Boris Le Roy's novel for young people, Émilie Capliez examines the micro-society that is school. Through a delegate election, it's already the question of power that is posed.

In the classroom, two boys compete to win the vote: Anar, who declaims great emancipatory ideals, and Cachot, who locks up the weakest in the toilets. With humor, Quand j'étais petite je voterai raises thorny democratic issues.

Abstention, clashes between order and solidarity, freedom of expression... With the air of nothing, the play rethinks key notions of citizenship with pedagogy and humor.

Written in the wake of the first round of the 2002 presidential election, the text has since been reworked to better integrate gender issues. Émilie Capliez directs this theatrical Candide and offers a rhythmic, funny and refreshing show.
