The state of the world weighs heavily on Jeanne and Olivier. But then a school election is organized as part of “Future Week”. The principal of their school - one of the worst in Canada - urges them to take part! A caustic portrayal of the hopes and anxieties of young people, Le poids des fourmis (The Weight of Ants) deals with the abuse of power and citizen resistance with infinite accuracy and humor.

VIVA is a performing arts festival dedicated to young people aged 12 to 20, where art and youth meet for 17 days. The Comédie de Genève, the Théâtre Am Stram Gram and the Pavillon ADC, three major stages in the Eaux-Vives area, are partnering with École&Culture to offer free shows for under-20s. Young people discover the stage, the backstage and the professions of the performing arts. Young people take to the stage with artistic proposals created during theater workshops in Geneva's cycles, colleges and public schools... An immersive experience in the living arts to celebrate art and youth!
As part of the VIVA festival, admission is free for under-20s. From April 4 to 17, more info on VIVA: festival-viva.ch
