Description
The Sauvages exhibition invites young and old to extend the magic of the film by delving into its creation. The exhibition is richly illustrated with original documents - drawings, travel diaries, sets, figures - created by Claude Barras and his team, and is divided into three main focuses: The first section highlights the major ecological and cultural challenges of the region: deforestation, palm oil monocultures, and the disappearance of indigenous traditions. It particularly depicts the struggle of the Penan people. The second part sheds light on the making and production steps of the film: from scriptwriting to set construction to character creation, visitors are invited into the film's workshop to discover the extraordinary detail work involved in this creative process. In a final section, visitors immerse themselves in the heart of the filming process. Intimate photographs and unpublished testimonies reveal the special atmosphere on set. The exhibition, supported by an original and sustainable scenography, unveils the fascinating and magical world of Sauvages, a sensitive, human, and committed stop-motion film.
