AU MENU : FILET DE LOUP SAUCE CHASSEUR
Dive into the world of Little Red Riding Hood with original illustrations by Gerda Muller and various essential versions of the famous tale.
With its moralizing aim, the story of "Le Petit Chaperon Rouge" touches all generations. Everyone knows this story of a little girl visiting her grandmother who finds herself confronted with a wolf disguised as the latter. By changing its appearance, the wolf conceals its true nature with one single purpose: to better trick the girl in order to devour her. She has no choice but to throw herself into the wolf's jaws, a symbol of the danger the world poses to innocent and naive youth embodied by the girl.
In our age where influences, manipulations and violence are commonplace, this story passed down from generation to generation remains relevant and invites the youngest to be doubly vigilant. Cunning and voracious, the wolves among us will do everything to satisfy "their hunger".
From Tuesday 17 November to Thursday 31 December
During the opening hours of the L'Heure Joyeuse library
A selection of illustrations taken from the book "Le Petit chaperon" rouge by Gerda Muller and from books in the heritage collection of the Heure Joyeuse heritage fund of the Françoise Sagan media library.
Within the heritage collections, these different versions of Little Red Riding Hood were selected and showcased by eleven people held in prison, who became exhibition curators for the duration of a project run by the Petite Bibliothèque Ronde (Clamart), in collaboration with the Heure Joyeuse heritage fund.
Titled Manger et être mangé, le grand festin des histoires, this exhibition was held from 18 February to 30 April at the Centre pénitentiaire Sud Francilien. More than 140 works were brought together in four thematic rooms, entirely designed and animated by the detainee curators.
Room 3, titled "Saignant ou à point ?", highlighted Le Petit Chaperon rouge and Hansel et Gretel.
