Joséphine et les grandes personnes

Joséphine is a little girl who is a life coach for children. She offers tips and tricks for learning to live with grown-ups. During Joséphine’s ten coaching lessons, we learn about the ups and downs of her family life – a life of difficulties, big and small, for parents and kids. Luckily, an intriguing old lady attends each of the lessons; the two become friends and help each other out.

There are children who bear a bit more of the weight of the world than they should have to. There are children who play at being grown-ups, and there are others who are in fact grown-ups. Marie-Hélène Larose-Truchon’s play is an ode to childhood, imagination, and the strength of children. It makes young audiences laugh as they recognize their own parents. And perhaps it makes adults smile … as they recognize their own contradictions.
