Catherine Aymerie steps onto the stage alone and somehow fills it with three painters, a muse, and a masterpiece that may not exist at all. Balzac's haunting novella about artistic obsession comes alive through her shape-shifting performance: one moment Poussin the hungry young artist, the next Frenhofer the old master guarding his secret canvas. You'll leave questioning whether the true unknown painting is the one on stage or the one hanging inside us.
