7:00pm
Join us on the 8th March –
International Women’s Day - for a glass of wine, talk and
an amazing film.
Find out about fascinating life stories of
Lou Andreas Salomé, Camille Claudel and Mata Hari –
three extraordinary women who had the courage to live their own
lives at the turn of the 19th and 20th
centuries.
Discover Lou Andrea Salome and her liaisons
with Friedrich Nietzsche, Sigmund Freud and Maria Rainer Rilke.
Explore the seductive dance skills and espionage rumours
surrounding Mata Hari. Finally, delve into the fragile beauty of
sculptures by Camille Claudel – one of the most gifted and
yet most ostracized of all female artists of the 20th century.
The evening will conclude with
the breath-taking film “Camille Claudel” starring
Isabelle Adjani as Camille Claudel and Gérard Depardieu
as Auguste Rodin. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best
Actress and Best Foreign Language Film, it is a deeply moving
story depicting two artists' work, passion, and fears
culminating in Camille Claudel’s downfall. She fell victim
the very social conventions she scorned with her independent
life style. Her socially unconventional behaviour resulted in
her eventual incarceration.
It is an evening about
passion, talent and influence which goes well beyond the
`colourful' label oft attached to the gifted.
See you Monday night!
