Let us experiment with various forms of government, with political personalities, who have been drawn directly from histories originating from all around the world and covering all times, getting to know some curious characters who move and operate at their own leisurely pace within the system, such as, for example, a tortoise called bureaucracy.

Working together, we shall try to find answers to a series of questions: is the king always in charge? Is it good to be in charge? Do we all know how to be in charge? And who decides? And how are decisions made? And who decides how decisions are made? What is politics? What is a parliament? Is the family a government or a form of misrule? Who gives the orders at home? Is it easy to be fair? Who invents laws? And what purpose do they serve? Deciding each step of our journey together, in instantaneous and rapidly constituted parliaments that take decisions about the direction in which the work should progress, we shall listen to stories, create them and recreate them, experiment with the theatre of politics and frequently swap roles between the governors and the governed. Shall we vote on this?
