An innovative multimedia creation combining music and immersive video scenography, inspired by the work and destiny of Camille Claudel, an exceptional female French sculptor. Mezzo-soprano, photographer, and designer Stéphanie Pothier and the Quatuor Molinari have created a musical journey into the heart of the sculptures and paintings of women artists who have been ignored for too long!
