“We share the same experiences”
“We have all experienced school, we spend several years there and we share the same experiences: back to school, homework, punishments, recess, friends… It’s an experience common to different generations,” explains Anne Sorbadère . She then imagined a project broader than a simple show, “with four axes: the show, classroom workshops because the children participate in the performance, other intergenerational workshops with a kit which presents the school of formerly, and a 3-minute video capsule with reflections on the school of tomorrow.
The project is designed to tour France. A website will list all the places he has been and all the video clips created during the meetings. “For example, we have a partnership with the University of Clermont Auvergne, so the second video will be made with students who want to become school teachers,” indicates the actress who wants to “show that every opinion counts, that of a researcher everything like that of a child. » And finally, there are so many visions of the school of tomorrow that will be discovered.
At Castétarbe
But the first step is in Orthez, with the Castétarbe school. Anne Sorbadère therefore came to class to rehearse the scene in which around ten children will participate. She was accompanied by her son, Lucien Hébrant, who plays the dunce Joseph and who is a former student of Castétarbe. It is also he who designs the video capsule of the project: “The students sent us two ideas that they had for the school of tomorrow and we chose to keep one which concerns the school in the forest. I’m going to write a script around that and come back in the spring to film it here, in Castétarbe, with the children,” he explains.
In the meantime, the students will be in the Planté room this Thursday, January 16 and they should then receive a visit from the alumni of the Foyer Rural to discover the equipment used at the school in the past. Anne Sorbadère specifies: “There are books, notebooks, inkwells, quills… The adults will explain to the children how their school days went, what they learned, what the teachers were like. So that children realize the similarities and differences with what they experience today.”
“Leaving school”, to be seen on Thursday January 16 at 8 p.m. at the Francis Planté theater. With the participation of students from the Castétarbe school. Prices: 15 euros full, 7 euros reduced.
