Here I Am Here I Stay

Visual art and sculpture come to life through dance and theater in order to depict how passion drives us. A student and lover of Auguste Rodin from 1884 to 1892, Claudel never married. A critically recognized sculptor of genius in a time when women held a difficult position in society, her story is told from death to life using many original words found in her correspondence. A life of driving passions that lead to ultimate madness, Here I Am Here I Stay relates how Claudel’s artistry and artwork sustained and doomed her, putting her way ahead of her time while leaving her a social outcast, poor and destitute.
