Release of "Sibylline, chronicles of an escort girl", first graphic novel by Sixtine Dano
A 2018 graduate of the Master in Character Animation and Animated Filmmaking, Sixtine Dano is an author and cartoonist, director, 2D animator and illustrator in children's publishing and the non-profit sector. She also teaches animation at GOBELINS.
Her first graphic novel "Sibylline, chroniques d'une escort girl" is published today by Glénat. This intimate and complex tale of a student who falls into prostitution was inspired by testimonials from escort girls and sugar babies Sixtine met over several years.
Drawn in ink and charcoal, it depicts the existential questions of the passage from childhood to adulthood, and the exploration of femininity and power relationships in a society marked by patriarchy and capitalism. Sixtine Dano is responsible for the drawings and screenplay.
In 2022, she had already published " Désobéir pour le climat ", a series of stories in 11 episodes on the Instagram account Matin Quel Journal! to document her journey as a climate activist with several associations (Action Justice Climat, Ende Gelände, Les amis de la Terre...).
At just 19, Raphaëlle looks like any other young girl her age. Freshly arrived in Paris for her architecture studies, she's busy with classes, sleepless nights working on her models, evenings serving beer and remaking the world with her new best friend. But what her fellow students don't know is that some nights Raphaëlle slips into the sheets of Parisian hotels and collects a few greenbacks.
Sixtine will be signing at the Angoulême Festival from Thursday January 30 to Sunday February 2, 2025.
