Le musée ambulant. Lectures de Miyazaki.

Hayao Miyazaki has adapted a myriad of books, films and manga on the big screen. He also takes inspiration in paintings, places and memories to create a passionate and sentimental multi-layered setting. It is this setting, and what it contains in terms of discoveries of authors, artists and graphic influences from all eras, which is celebrated in this exhibition. Miyazaki, the director, is not the hero of this project, but he is the one we think of as we observe the uncountable ways in which he cuts, transforms, shapes these texts and images to then animate them. 
In this exhibition, we therefore focus on his works, his ten main films, like a traveling museum. We hope that this dive into the hidden side of films we considered as very famous will whet your appetite and your passion for fiction under all shapes. In your own way, you are also at the heart of this story since we consider your ways of looking at and adapting Miyazaki's images in your lives, through disguise, creation, transformation and translation into your own languages!

AN EXHIBITION FOR EVERYONE

To include all audiences, especially the youngest, specific areas are dedicated to children. Easily recognizable by their cabin shape, these spaces offer activities so that everyone can experience the exhibition in a different way: books, colouring pages, and even disguises. For a family discovery of the exhibition, we offer you newspapers to leaf through together. Designed as keys for the reading of the exhibition, they develop topics chosen by primary and middle school students. The museum also provides you with books, which you can pick up from the library, to accompany you through the exhibition and to allow you to explore certain subjects more deeply. Be free to leave your book or keep it with you!

Also find a short film, produced in partnership with the Louis Jouvet college and the Zola cinema in Villeurbanne with the desire to observe children watching a Miyazaki film. It was during a screening of the film The Castle in the Sky at the beginning of February that their raw emotions were collected. Immediately after the session, their impressions and comments were captured. Finally, it is in their classroom that the middle school students reveal to us what they think are the director's many influences.

_ JEAN-CHRISTOPHE DEVENEY

To go further into questions of adaptation and (re)interpretation, the work of Jean-Christophe Deveney, a distinguished comic book scriptwriter, punctuates the exhibition. The works Giantess: the story of the one who travelled the world in search of freedom with Núria Tamarit, Les Naufragés de la Méduse with JS Bordas, Haruki Murakami, the seventh man and other stories with PMGL as well as Lili Ghost with Sébastien Spagnolo and David Dany are presented in the rooms. Original plates, strips and storyboards allow us to follow the screenwriter's approach of his writing work with the illustrators. The themes of adaptation between loyalties and betrayals, as well as inspiration of archetypal characters or even real events are addressed.

_ POMME CONTROLS THE SOUND OF THE EXHIBITION

French singer Pomme released two albums about seasons in December 2023 and March 2024. Published under her own label, Sois Sage Musique, the ‘Saisons’ project was carried out with musicians and producers Flavien Berger, for the first record, and Aaron Dessner (from The National) for the second one. Acknowledging the importance of Miyazaki's films in her artistic imagination, the museum called Pomme to compose the soundtrack for the exhibition. The singer accepted and chose to entrust us with nine instrumental extracts that she composed for ‘Saisons’, as well as a song, Itsumo Nando Demo, that she recorded in 2019 and covers the anthem of the film Spirited Away. You will therefore be able to find, in the exhibition rooms, the soundtrack by Pomme, which she developed by assigning colours, warm or cold, to each film, making them resonate with the music of her musical project which is "conceptual and orchestral, thought of as a modern opera presented in four movements and four seasons.”
