Throughout these pages, Suzanne Lebeau reflects in an exhaustive and profound way on the path she has taken during the last forty years of creative and professional practice with her company Le Carrousel. Through her research-creation methodology, she immerses us in her constant concern to tell the world to children from a non-authoritarian and non-didactic perspective, and at the same time without renouncing her own existential questions and concerns as a creator. Against the idea of censorship, which lurks so much in creation aimed at early ages, Lebeau bases the analysis of her extensive dramatic work on the concepts of "authority", "empathy" and "metaphor"; those that allow her to reconstruct her work as a creator. The Canadian author examines her theatrical texts in light of the data offered by the reactions of girls and boys, until arriving at Three Little Sisters, the latest work in which Lebeau sets out to unite the divergent receptions of child audiences and adult audiences. A thorough and essential testimony by and about the greatest contemporary creator of theatre for children, one that reaches us through her own words.

Suzanne Lebeau

Suzanne Lebeau is one of the most important voices in theatre for children and young people worldwide. Throughout her career she has questioned the limits of what can and cannot be told to children and young people. In 1975 she founded the company Le Carrousel, which has left its mark on young audiences around the world with its texts. A woman who has encouraged, through theory, pedagogy and practice, the vindication of a theatre for children and young people that is responsible, demanding of itself, with high poetic flight and social dignity. A theatre that does not renounce the criticism of this world in which we live together, young and old: a world that, in her own words, is cruel, tender, complex and contradictory.
