La lame et le pinceau
Video art for Benjamin Lazar’s theatrical production at the Louvre Museum, about the painter Jacques-Louis David. Performances on November 7 and 8, 2025 at 8:00 PM, and on November 9 at 3:00 PM.
This autumn, as a retrospective honors Jacques-Louis David, this staged reading follows an artist shaped by the Revolution, both witness and participant. Directed by Benjamin Lazar, it portrays David imprisoned after the Terror, revisiting his past as figures like Charlotte Corday and Maximilien Robespierre emerge in a vivid, somber vision of memory.
