J’attends peu, j’aspire à beaucoup, Hugues Duchêne

What will happen in France over the next 50 years? J’attends peu, j’aspire à beaucoup follows the journey of Arthur Cagniot-Duchêne, from age 10 to 60, through the political changes in the country between 2027 and 2077. How will the Fifth Republic end? And the Sixth? Will the Seventh last longer? What might an affective and sexual equality law look like? What kind of agriculture can be envisioned on a planet out of breath? Facing the procession of our uncertainties, this speculative political fiction show sets out to confront our fears, envision the worst as well as the best, and till the ground of possibilities to break with pervasive passivity.
