A t l a n t i s was an ancient kingdom, an
island i n the A t l a n t i c , which d i s appeared during an earthquake. Fabulous stories are t o l d about the
beauty of the people who l i v e d there
and the kind of c i v i l i z a t i o n they
created. We take A t l a n t i s as a symbol
of the l o s t kingdom which women are
s t r i v i n g to rediscover by discovering
themselves.
L'Atlantide, royaume du temps j a d i s ,
e t a i t une l i e perdue dans l'Atlantique
qui disparut l o r s d'un tremblement de
t e r r e . Des h i s t o i r e s fabuleuses nous
parlent de l a beaute de ses habitants
et du type de c i v i l i s a t i o n q u ' i l s
avaient cree. Le mot A t l a n t i s e s t
pour nous l e symbole de ce royaume
perdu que des femmes essayent maintenant de f a i r e revivre tout en retrouvant
leur propre i d e n t i t e .
