It is 2030, a not-so-distant future. All around the world, thousands of teenagers take to the streets to demand the real implementation of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In the theatre auditorium, which takes the form of a parliament, a universal assembly of members of parliament debate the right to be whoever we wish to be, moving between caricatured moments and epiphanies. They are called upon to draw closer to young people and to rethink themselves: if we were all once teenagers, what happens to that force and that desire for change when we occupy positions of power?
With humour, the aim is to provoke and deepen our understanding of the Other, in this great assembly that is, ultimately, the theatre.
