What Goes Around Comes Around

“To ni pravično, vsi na kolesa,
zakaj ima zajec dolga ušesa.”

“It’s not fair, everyone on bikes, why the rabbit has long ears.”
(The Righteous Song)

Under the guidance of Loup Abramovici, the children gathered their thoughts on justice, transcribed by Primož Čučnik and set to music by Tomaž Grom. “In France, we say that truth always comes from the mouths of children (La verité sort toujours de la bouche des enfants). When I thought about justice, I realised that this word carries the burden of concepts such as equality, law, rule, morality, punishment, truth… which each adult seems to understand in his or her own way. So I invited some children to write their thoughts on what is just or unjust.” Loup Abramovici
