The bell rings. The teacher instructs the audience to take out their textbooks. The class begins. The textbook is based on Raw Materials for a Theory of the Young-Girl (by the Tiqqun collective) and the “Young-Girlization” of the world is the class topic. Sound poetry, lessons from a one-of-a-kind ballet instructor, songs, sculptures, and music by a string quartet combine to form this multifaceted and symbolic portrait of the Young-Girl, created by Quebec-based Bureau de l’APA and collaborators from diverse artistic domains.

Based in Quebec City, Laurence Brunelle-Côté is a writer, performer, and designer who works with artists from a variety of disciplines (dance, performance, poetry, music, and multidisciplinary arts). Simon Drouin is a performer, designer, musician, and member of the Orchestre d’Hommes-Orchestres, a multidisciplinary arts collective that makes “music that can be seen.” In 2001, the pair founded the Bureau de l’APA, an undisciplined performing art company whose aim is to bring together artists from all fields to work on atypical creative projects.
