As part of the celebrations of Valentine's Day or Valentine's Day, Carrusel des Arts goes to the heart of the Museum of Confluences in Lyon, which presents in its rooms 'À nos amours', an exhibition that analyzes love and its multiple expressions and forms. We also talk about the emblematic couples in the art world in France: duos who united their lives through love and creativity.
An entrance of red hearts, statements in different languages and strong heartbeats welcome visitors to the exhibition 'À nos amours' at the Musée des Confluences in the city of Lyon. This colorful exhibition analyzes love from multiple prisms and offers scientific explanations to the complexity of passion, love at first sight and the different ways of loving.
The visitor can explore the exhibition and its various perspectives on love, thanks to many videos, interactive documents, sound reports and a section on new ways to declare love or break up a relationship.
“In our time new codes appeared. Thanks to modern technologies there are new ways of knowing each other, new ways of considering each other depending on your sexual orientation. We also emphasized the notion of consent in romantic relationships, with language accessible to children and adults,” explained Hélène Lafont-Couturier, director of the Museum of Confluences in Lyon.
Together in life and art
The history of art is full of love stories. In France, art has brought many couples together. One of the most well-known and tragic relationships was the one between the sculptors Camille Claudel and Auguste Rodin. In plastic art, we highlight Robert and Sonia Delauney, or Niki de Saint Phalle and Jean Tinguely. The duo Pierre et Gilles is also known worldwide for their painted photographs. And in music, we remember the prolific team formed by the pianist and composer Michel Berger and the singer France Gall.
The love of theater and a comedy
'Le Molière Imaginaire', by Olivier Py, arrives in cinemas, a masterful theatrical exercise for cinema. This film illustrates the last two hours of life of Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, alias Molière, the father of French comedy. Moliere performs his last piece 'The Imaginary Sick' with difficulty, although he suffers from pulmonary tuberculosis. His last moments are a reflection on his life as the jester of the King of France and staunch enemy of the church. His wife tries to convince him to give up his job as an actor to have a Christian grave. But Molière is a passionate defender of comedy and theater.
Also in theaters is the second chapter of a successful French comedy, 'Retirement Home', the story of love and understanding between the old people of a nursing home and the children of an orphanage. This second episode takes place in a luxury nursing home on the French Riviera, and features outstanding performances by stars Jean Reno and Amanda Lear.
'Playlist' for lovers
From the Catwalk of the Arts in Paris, the city of love, Natalia Olivares presents some of the most passionate songs in French song. Because love has always been one of the fundamental drivers of music. If you want to impress your lover, be sure to listen to this selection.
