Hugues Duchêne’s J'attends peu, j'aspire à beaucoup is a science-political-fiction show that envisions France from 2027 to 2077 through the journey of Arthur Cagniot-Duchêne. The piece explores possible futures of the country, including the end of the Fifth Republic, the creation of new institutions, and social and ecological transformations, while also examining the relationship between individuals and the future, and the role of collective action in shaping it. The show is written and directed by Hugues Duchêne, with performances by Hugues Duchêne, Eric Frey, Margaux Le Mignan, Maxime Pambet, and Céline Samie. Artistic collaboration and video creation are by Pierre Martin Oriol, with staging assistance from Victor Guillemot.
