Frédéric Bihel, the shadow theater

Frederic Bihel the shadow theater

Frédéric Bihel adapts Anne-Laure Bondoux’s novel “As long as we are alive” into a comic strip. A dense, powerful and hypnotic graphic narrative.

The title of the new comic by Frederic Bihel is the beginning of a sentence. An unfinished phrase that lets a world of possibilities and resignations open up. It was first the title of a novel, that of Anne-Laure Bondoux.

The illustrator Frédéric Bihel made a comic strip of it. He invites us to dive with him from shadow to light, in worlds that are sometimes fantastic, sometimes realistic. From the forest to the city passing by the sea, the sketches stand out against very changing flat areas of color… in the footsteps of a family with a heavy past.

The comic strip “As long as we are alive” by Frédéric Bihel is published by Futuropolis editions.

Reportage : Akissi, the mischievous heroine of Marguerite Abouet and Mathieu Sapin leaves the pages of comics for television. An unprecedented 26-minute adventure, inspired by the 10 albums already published by Gallimard, will be broadcast tomorrow Wednesday at 2:30 p.m. PARIS time on the public channel France 4. Our reporter Amelie Beaucouralso a champion of nonsense, watched it for VMDN.
