Visiting Cezanne

The Fringe Office, Edinburgh

About the Show

Visiting Cezanne takes audiences back in time through failing painter Nora Baker to the studio of Paul Cezanne, where she finds a man wracked with self-doubt but who displays a fierce determination to paint every day and master his craft. Unknown artist Nora visits the Metropolitan Museum in New York in 2016, where things get really weird. From there she travels back to 1900 and Southern France, where she meets Cezanne, burdened with his own issues. Nora desperately wants to get back to 2016 and Cezanne does little to help her. Also ensnared in Nora’s crisis are an art historian from Utah and Cezanne’s gardener.
