In the sculptor's imaginary studio, surrounded by his mythical statues, Rodin would evoke his memories, doubts and flashes of inspiration. He would draw live, sculpt Camille Claudel, defend his Balzac, recount his admiration for Dante, Michelangelo and Baudelaire. The show would bring to life his artistic struggles, such as the L'Âge d'airain affair, his intimate dialogues with the unfinished form, his relationship with Non Finito, or his technique for studying profiles. Through anecdotes and creative gestures, Le Penseur offers a journey through time and into the soul of an artist inhabited by the beauty of the living.
