1. Your project in two lines:

A show-walk to discover the Lausanne plants, the ones we see but do not look at.

2. The objective of your project (explain its why and how it will benefit one or more neighborhood(s))

Observe the plants we rub shoulders daily without paying attention to them, discover their stories, browse little-known places in our neighborhood while having fun through a street show, here are the objectives of "We plant". By giving a voice to the plants, this show-walk offers all generations of Lausanne to take another look at the plants that live in the world of men in order to transform their neighborhood from a place of passage into a place of spectacle and wonder. This walk is adapted and will adapt to many neighborhoods since the treated plants are common plants. In addition to making laughter and raising awareness of the presence of nature in the city, "We plant" wants to make botany accessible and bring the street show to Lausanne neighborhoods by following the maxim "if you do not go to the theater, the theater will come to you"!

3. Your project in detail

• We propose a walk of one hour punctuated by saynets during which actors will lend their voices to the plants present, whether they have gable on street or whether they are in stealth mode. Each walk will adapt to the plants and geography of the neighborhood. For the Participatory Budget, we offer 10 shows in 5 Lausanne neighborhoods, namely 2 performances for each of the neighborhoods. The show-walk will take the name of the project and the district as: "We plant in Montchoisi" for the performances in the Montchoisi district. During these shows, spectators will be dragged into the streets by a botanist in charge of the inventory of the Lausanne flora accompanied by Impatience, a young woman looking for the ideal place to plant a seed she found. During their wanderings, the duo will meet the laurel, a member of the very select blacklist, will try to avoid the questionable jokes of a job before going in search of the wild carrot. Certainly, the spectators will laugh, be indignant and above all learn without realizing it. Because if the life of these plants is staged, everything is true, based on scientific, historical and cultural facts.
