Maupassant and Monet

Text, music and song combine to evoke the figures of Claude Monet and Guy de Maupassant, as well as their relationships, both friendly and tumultuous, with other painters, writers and critics of their time.

Monet, a workaholic always on the lookout for new motifs, takes us from the loops of the Seine to Normandy, from Brittany to Italy... all the way to the pond at Giverny. A fabulous journey to the heart of the painter's life and the mystery of creation.
