The play was the product of a theatre workshop at La Providence Jesuit high school in the northern French city of Amiens, where Macron met his future wife.

It was pure theatre – in real life and onstage. Brigitte Trogneux, Macron’s drama teacher, was 24 years older than him, married, and with children.

“He played a scarecrow, I remember that very, very well. And I found him incredible in this scene, what a presence,” recalled Trogneux in the documentary, “Macron, a Meteor's Strategy.”

At 15, Macron fell in love with his 39-year-old drama teacher, whose three children included a daughter his own age.
