TVmag Le Figaro : « Le bestiaire des sorcières » and the TV series « des bêtes et des sorcières »

Des bêtes et des sorcières: Arte décrypte les légendes animales

Des bêtes et des sorcières: Arte décrypte les légendes animales

La chaîne lancera, le 28 octobre à 18h55, une série documentaire sur les croyances populaires liées aux animaux.

La vue d’une chouette annoncerait la mort, le blaireau serait associé au diable, croiser un chat noir sur sa gauche présagerait un malheur… Les superstitions liées aux animaux sauvages ont toujours existé et elles ont la vie dure. La pie est ainsi toujours considérée comme voleuse, tandis que les chauves-souris ont encore mauvaise réputation. La série documentaire Des bêtes et des sorcières , adaptée du livre Le Bestiaire des sorcières, de Denise Crolle-Terzaghi, s’attache à ces espèces décriées.

En mêlant des animations de John Howe, directeur artistique du Seigneur des anneaux, et de sublimes images sur le terrain, elle revient sur ces croyances populaires et met en avant toutes les qualités de ces animaux diabolisés. Le blaireau, la pie, le cerf, le lièvre, le renard, la couleuvre ou la chauve-souris sont notamment réhabilités. À découvrir à partir du 28 et jusqu’au 31 octobre, à 18h55 sur Arte.

 

Original music by Anthony Touzalin and Jordan Proença for the TV series “des bêtes et des sorcières” adapted from my book “le bestiaire des sorcières”(Rustica editions)

“It’s the witches summer” – CITAD’ELLES n°20, a women’s magazine without a fence around it

Approached by Citad’elles magazine made by and for inmates at the Rennes female prison  I contributed to the last issue. It was a unique experience to which I responded positively.

Giving voices to women deprived of it is the ambition of the Citad’elles project. It enables a group of long-term prisoners of the Rennes prison centre to produce a professional quality women’s magazine. Created in 2012 by the association “Les établissements Bollec“, in collaboration with the teaching league – which benefits from the support of the Ministry of Culture for its actions within the framework of the culture-justice programme – Citad’elles is a real quarterly publication of about fifty pages distributed in the prison of Rennes and made available to the general public through its website.

Awarded a prize at the Journalism Forum of Tours 2017 by the Ministry of Culture, the Citad’elles project offers prisoners at the Rennes prison to carry out a quarterly review under professional conditions.”
