Democracy, my love

Theatre, for audiences aged 13 and up. Supported by Affluences.

A and L, an authoritarian duo with an incisive sense of humour, tell us the story of democracy, with a small h.
The little stories of democracy, from ancient Greece to the present day. Through a series of offbeat tableaux revolving around voting, the drawing of lots and the democracy index, the play introduces us to the various concepts that make up democracy as we understand it today.
The whole play oscillates between the utmost seriousness and the absurdity of the world.
The two characters take us through the history of democracy: we meet Pericles, Aristotle, Plato, but also figures of power and revolt like Antigone and her slightly tyrannical uncle, Creon.
A show about voting systems, democracy, commitment and seasonal vegetables!
