The Marseille Museum of Fine arts, established in the left wing of
the Palais Longchamp since 1869, is one of the oldest in France. Rodin
himself, as a craftsman, had helped himself to decorate the building in
1868.
From 26 April - 27 July 1997, the Museum showed the exhibition
"Rodin, La voix intérieure" (The Inner Voice).
In October 2000, the Ballet National de Marseille performed Sakountala,
developed from the Sanskrit drama of Gautier's 19th century ballet and
the story of the life of Camille Claudel. The piece is a weaving of
Claudel's life in a passionate liaison with Rodin and the plot by
Gautier - two lovers, separated in their worldly lives, coming together
in Nirvana.
The director of the ballet, Marie-Claude Pietragalla, has chosen a
captivating jigsaw-like story for this project. The Sanskrit ballet
'Sacountala', created in the 19th century by Gautier, was the stimulus
for Camille Claudel, scholar at the studio of Rodin, to create her
moving sculpture.
