Editorial:
The Beast hides. It isolates itself. It prowls. Its shadow appears in the light of the moon, for it is at night that beasts come out of their lairs.
Ah, yes... And what if the beast was hiding because it feared the gaze of others? And what if the beast hunched its back, lowered its head, and bristled its fur because your shouts frightened it?.
Why does the beast frighten us? It awakens the animality within each of us. So, we push it away. We reject it. We set aside the freak. They throw him out of town. They lock him up. So much so that this one, male or female, has only two options left: to embrace their role as a monster, to act sluggish and menacing, or to struggle, to shout: «I am not an animal! I am a human being! I am... a man.» But the moment the jester opens their mouth, their interlocutor is faced with a choice: this strange cry, should I pay attention to it or ignore it?
This special «Beast» issue is also an opportunity for us to look at the unknown with fresh eyes and to question everything a priori. Let's be a bit like Belle, the bookworm from Disney, who, under the snow, gets to know the Beast:
«There's something in his eyes
A bit fragile and light
As a hope
My friend, with eyes of silk
You smiled
But just yesterday, I didn't know»
And then, finally, let us dare to turn the mirror around and contemplate our reflection: to finally discover the true Beast.
«Could humans be so powerful, so magnificent, and at the same time so evil, so vile? To show themselves as great, noble, and sensitive, but also full of abjection and baseness?, Frankenstein's monster (penned by Mary Shelley).
Aaaargh!
Special thanks to Aurore Michel, a DN MADE 2 Graphic Design student, who has left her mark on this beast of a layout.
