A & L, an authoritative duo with an incisive sense of humour, tell us the story, with a small h, of democracy, from ancient Greece to the present day.
We meet Pericles, Sophocles, Plato, but also figures of power and revolt, like Antigone and her slightly tyrannical uncle, Creon.
The audience votes in several different ways. They vote as they would have voted in Athens in the 5th century BC, or according to the methods of Condorcet or Borda. We get a first-hand look at voting methods other than those used in France. And we discover that we could operate quite differently.
Through a series of offbeat tableaux, alternating with audience votes, the play revives moments that have marked and continue to mark Western democracies. So many moments when power was - or could have been - exercised by the people. With a nod to Duras, a dash of Desproges and a touch of Monty Python, Démocratie, mon amour is an ode to the many facets of democracy!
A show by Antoine Linguinou, with writing support from Martin Sauvageot, starring Leïla Déaux and Antoine Linguinou, guest star Louise Genin, set design by Anne Lacroix, mentalism by Claire Chastel, lighting design and stage management by Ruddy Fritsch.
