La chevalière errante is a story of a little girl who travels the world in search of a place where she will be accepted. She is
alone in the world and her only possession is her great book of knowledge. Chased away from all places because she is foreign and
different, she is very discouraged when she meets an old man who tirelessly plants trees to replace those that an insatiable dragon
keeps swallowing. He tells her about an ideal place on the other side of the mountains, where people from all over the world live in
harmony. But to get there, she must cross the mountain and face the ferocious dragon. Will she be able to overcome it? Will she arrive
to the ideal village?
A text by Michèle Smolkin, staged by Kris Fleerackers

It all starts in the spring of 2017 with a crazy idea from the young illustrator Elly Oldman: stuck in bed following an accident, she
launches into the realization on Instagram of a drawing... without end! 200 publications, 15 meters of drawing and 18 000 followers later,
she imagines with the association Electroni[k] an interactive, giant and evolving fresco. This graphic jungle, composed of hundreds of
elements, invites the spectator to a contemplative exploration, on a background of ecological and environmental considerations. By turns,
children can explore the issue of boredom and creativity!

Le portrait d'Esther is a digital comic book series that plunges the reader into a family secret: the missing portrait of the young
Esther, painted in the 1930s. Seventy years later, Iris, 15 years old, discovers the existence of this painting of her grandmother and tries
to reconstruct the history of her family.
Through 3 generations of women and the journey of a painting, the comic explores the issues of the Nazi plundering of Jewish property during
the Second World War, the Resistance and the place in Art. The students will reflect on these themes by putting themselves in the
situation and then sharing their thoughts with the rest of the class.
