Les Murmures du Musée

One evening at the Museum of Fine Arts. The central character of this show is the museum itself... Fulfilling his most secret dream, an unauthorized nighttime visitor will witness an extraordinary general assembly: just as the collections are aboutto be moved, the chairwoman of this gathering of extras—those who stir up the museum’s paintings—summons her troops for a late-night conversation.

The stakes are high: in which artwork will they take their place for the journey?

What follows are lively exchanges among these enigmatic characters, conversations interspersed with songs and readings (texts by authors or original creations) evoking a selection of paintings, reproductions of which will be projected onto a large screen.
This secret gathering of these quirky characters—for whom the settings of the paintings are ultimately nothing more than a playground—will conclude with the museum’s quasi-divine intervention, which will calm this little world with an irrefutable poem.
