Stéphane Bern from the castle of L’Islette in Touraine invites you to discover the impossible love story between Rodin and Camille Claudel, where genius and the power of emotion are intertwined. For many years this castle was the scene of their relationship, the refuge of their fragile passions, the shelter where they hid their love for a weekend. How did Auguste Rodin, with a background of immigrant peasants in Paris, become this well-known and beloved artist in the mid-19th century, shoulder to shoulder with Clémenceau and Victor Hugo, a frequent visitor to Parisian salons, and a lifelong international reputation? Like his hand, Rodin’s heart yields only to his passions…
In 1884, Auguste Rodin was 43 when he fell in love with his 19-year-old collaborator, Camille Claudel. Nothing will ever be the same for the famous sculptor, who took a step forward in his creation. This devouring idyll spreads her wings and makes her explore the eroticism rising from the female body even more boldly in her work… A show that will not leave anyone indifferent!
