Cartable - Théâtre des Beaux Arts, Bordeaux

Written by and starring Gloria Da Queija Co-written and directed by Vincent Toujas Compagnie Toujours Là The smell of a new school bag on the first day back, the shouts and laughter in the playground, eraser bits flying across the classroom, pens that always leak at the wrong moment, children's imaginations, their chatter, their brilliant moments, the stage fright before the end-of-year show… This one-woman show, both funny and moving, plunges us into the daily life of a well-meaning teacher and her students, all so different and endearing.

Like a chameleon, the actress plays all the characters: the teacher, the children, colleagues, the inspector… Cartable is a tribute to the complex and fascinating profession of primary school teacher.

A dive into the world of school, a universe full of energy and emotions, a small condensed version of our society where all personalities and individual stories meet, where new collective adventures are lived, and where everyone, child or adult, continues to learn thanks to others…
