La Nuit des Brigands
(The Night of the Brigands)
Danièle TEL-GUIBERT
France
My work is largely inspired by the three brigands. This tale tells the story of three robbers. Having sown terror among the villages, they are transformed into guardian angels and benefactors for the unfortunate children in distress thanks to the intervention of a little girl who diverts them from their misdeeds by her charm, her freshness and her innocence.
I have imagined a sequel to this wonderful tale: the little children that the robbers have saved walk happily from the village to the castle behind a curtain of trees, playing with balloons, they also see what was once the evil life of robbers, a life they have now fled, and are now happy to do good.
