Le cartable rouge

It’s the start of the school year!

We are plunged into a school day during which Mathéo and Ludovic meet. Rejected by their classmates, these two boys, who at first seem completely different, become friends. Between tests, settling scores during recess, cafeteria battles and recitations, our characters swing between their boundless imaginations and the reality of school, and are swept into colorful adventures. Enhanced by the sound design, their escapades take shape through theatrical performance combining object manipulation/reappropriation and mime. Thus, during their many clownish games, these two children transform a banana into a pistol or a simple desk into a complete percussion set. Over the course of the show, these two schoolboys, whose temperaments initially seem incompatible, learn that difference is a strength and that they have far more to offer each other than they imagined.
