econdary 5 project which brings together several academic subjects including: ethics, art and drama.

This project is based on the difficult runs from adolescence to adulthood. Evil and suffering as well as difficult to overcome during this period steps are translated into symbolic spawning. He brought the young to make a comeback on the pitfalls that have populated his life: death of a loved one, divorce, difficult relationships etc. There was, first, to work on a construction debris (like a broken wall) to exorcise its adverse experiences. It was, to realize his work by placing thereon codes, icons, phrases or words which he alone knew the meaning. The young owner remained the key to the reading of the work and had, in any case, to reveal the source. This debris wall served as his outlet in order to overcome his trials.

All this artistic creation was directed to the difficulties faced by a fish to get to the spawning grounds. Salmon was cited for this adventure. It must, to reproduce face several pitfalls, life at sea, returning to his native river, fishing, dams, predators etc.

Teachers in several academic subjects have included several stages of the project in their courses.

Drama: filmed where words, sounds, gestures were based on feelings caused by evil and suffering performance.

400 years later...
The sea was oil, no breeze was waving to the leaves which, anyway, had almost disappeared as the majority of all that existed on the planet.

There are now nearly 400 years since a major earthquake, caused by the negligence and the inertia of the man who caused it has completely changed the face of this planet, forcing the survivors to change their structures and lifestyle by forcing them to initiate a fundamental change to the survival of new species. It remains on the planet, a few copies of the three kingdoms (animal, vegetable and mineral).

Life as we know it today is doomed to oblivion. Everything has changed and we no longer have any reference to what we know from our previous environment, the result of a drastic and rapid change! Each survivor has borrowed from other kingdoms are essential to their survival characteristics.
