Spectacle "Je suis trop vert"

By the Kairos Company / David Lescot

After “I’m Too Scared” and “I Have Too Many Friends,” Moi continues his journey through sixth grade, that pivotal time in life: this time, he’s sent on a school trip.

Staying with a farming family that runs a small farm, Moi discovers rural life, which is much less peaceful than he’d imagined: though he’d expected to be bored, he’ll actually have to survive in a harsh environment, harsh, and much noisier than expected—one marked by getting up at the crack of dawn, a direct and brutal connection with the land and the elements, and even grueling and dangerous tasks involving animals or farm machinery.

%AB%A0As we follow the misadventures of all kinds experienced by this 6th-grade student, we laugh a lot, we’re often moved, and we also find ourselves wondering at times: about our responsibility for the planet’s future, about global warming, and about the different types of agriculture (sustainable or intensive).%A0%BB Le Monde
