Created for children not yet not able to vote, “É Bom Mandar?” invites us to sit at the table, discuss, conspire and eat a menu of politically delicious dishes that will allow us to experience different forms of government and characters from all over the world and all over history. 

In this workshop, we will try to find the answers to a series of questions: Do we all know how to rule? But who decides? And how? What is politics? Who invents laws? What’s their use? Is it easy being fair? Are families a small scale government, or are they an ungovernable mess? And who’s the boss at home? 

Deciding each step of our path in instantaneous assemblies, we can hear stories and experience the theatre of politics. 

Shall we vote?
