Chéreau, a lifetime
AVIGNON – How can we retrace an itinerary like that of Patrice Chéreau (1944-2013), a man of theatre and opera, a writer and a movie director? From his famous production of Macbeth at Avignon in 1988 to Queen Margot, the very successful movie with Isabelle Adjani, he knew how to touch all genres. Based on his archives, entrusted to the IMEC, this exhibition marks the reopening of the Collection Lambert in an area twice as large and traces a portrait according to the reflection of those who loved him. Chéreau is defined by his visual passions, from Adel Abdessemed to Bob Wilson, including classic masters such as Chassériau, Géricault or Renoir.
• Patrice Chéreau, un musée imaginaire at the Fondation Lambert, from 14 July to 11 October 2015.
