Description: This play represents a frenzy of interpretations--various explanations, in this case, of the life of Camille Claudel, mistress to Auguste Rodin and sister to French playwright Paul Claudel, as well as being an artist herself. As this work reveals, however, Camille was, in part, betrayed by the men surrounding her and most of her art was destoryed, while both her lover and brother institutionalized her in an asylum where she died. This story has been told before, but never with such poetic force and objectivity, as the author explores the multitude of truths surrounding this artist and--by extension--all aritsts locked in the give-and-take pulls of creativity.
