Midi nous le dira

What can you do with an hour's wait when your dreams are hanging on the stroke of midday? Najda is seventeen and has a dream: to join the French U-21 football team. In sixty minutes, she'll know. So to make the most of these slow moments, she films herself live on her phone and talks to the woman she will be in ten years' time. She talks about her struggle and also talks to her foremothers, the female figures who gave her a taste for freedom. Fiery, lyrical, as electric as a pre-match match and supported by a score played live on stage, Midi nous le dira is a choral work that goes far beyond sport. Joséphine Chaffin uses her athletic language to say that equality must be practised and won like a team sport. We are told that equality is not for tomorrow? That's right. Midi, c'est maintenant!
