A production geared for audiences 8 to 12 and families

Days begin as always, with the children arriving at school. In addition to cleaning the classroom, the janitor has added his own special touch. Long-time friends Nathan, Mathilda, Suzanna and Stanley rush into class turning the room into a veritable chaos. The teacher stepping in channels the overflow of energy. Minds now turn to a class assignment. Hands go up and pupils jump from their seats wanting to give THE answer. Mathilda’s enthusiasm as she yells "me me me ..." along with the prize she wins for giving the right answer trigger a hostile reaction on the part of the others. At the end of the day, the janitor comes in to tidy things and discovers what has happened. In the school yard or in class, Mathilda now seems an outsider. Whatever she does to fit in, the others ignore her. Even her best friend seems to be turning a cold shoulder.

Mathilda isolates herself more and more. In her mind, the class has become a strange and threatening place. She will take a decision that will stun everybody and that even the gentleness of the janitor will not be able to change.
