How can we tell the story of our relationship with forests through words, images and music? Nos forêts, nos vies brings together Catherine Meurisse, Geoffroy Delorme, Jean-Denis Pendanx and Olivia Gay around this question. The event draws parallels between a life story spent in close contact with animals and a graphic novel about another experience of life in nature.
Catherine Meurisse presents Le Clan Walden, in which she revisits Henry David Thoreau and his move to the area near Walden Pond. Geoffroy Delorme talks about the seven years he spent in a Norman forest, living close to roe deer, as recounted in L’Homme-chevreuil and later adapted into a graphic novel.
Alongside the dialogue between the two authors, a work is created in front of the audience: Jean-Denis Pendanx draws live. Cellist Olivia Gay performs with her pianist, bringing music into this exploration of the living world. Drawing and musical performances are thus part of the event, alongside the discussion.
Camille Lafrance, director of the Fake Off association, moderates this discussion at the intersection of storytelling, observation of the living world and artistic creation.
