At the Musée des Confluences, the exhibition "Animal Cult" explores our relationships with other animals: those we raise, hunt, venerate, or mourn.
Drôle de Trame met with researchers and specialists to give a voice to those who study these relationships. Interviews allow visitors to share their reflections on this fascinating subject. Two historical controversies - the creation of zoos and the practice of vivisection - come to life on several screens, portrayed by actors.
Animal biographies, to be listened to while facing taxidermied specimens, invite visitors to discover the unique journeys of a little penguin, a panther, or even a snowy owl…
To give substance to the diversity of these perspectives and stories, we edited all the archival videos from the exhibition, revealing the many facets of our connection with the animal world.
Finally, a soundtrack immerses the visitor in an animal world, strange and familiar.
