How do you talk about death with children who are confronted with it? Unanimously acclaimed by the critics, this show tackles such a delicate subject with brio, proving that we can talk about death as we would about what is most alive in us.

Mustafa loses his father. In his class, Paméla has also lost someone: her dog. With this in common, they become inseparable. One day, little Françou, a twig from first grade, shows up and suggests they see their father and dog again. All they had to do was go to the other side! And she goes every Wednesday! Little Françou seems a bit crazy, but hope wins over the two friends... A plan is hatched, with fear in their stomachs and their hearts pounding... They take other kids with them...
Let's set off on an adventure that will sweep the whole school off its feet, make the teacher tremble, drive the headmistress mad, irritate the school caretaker and panic the parents. In the playground, the taboo subject of death becomes inescapable. The dead themselves get involved.
Rather than bury our dead in oblivion, Anna Nozière and her team put them in the spotlight in a cheeky, funny show that takes the side of children and... life.
