Description

How long would you wait for a moment of inspiration? 1860s Paris is a place of romance and art, but for Victorine, it is an escape from her grey life in Dublin. While surviving as an artist's model, she discovers the artist within and starts to see a new world of colour and fire. Victorine is a comedic and poignant one-woman show, exploring the lives of female impressionists and artists' models during a turbulent decade in Europe.

Loved this show. Jasmin's connection with the audience was breathtaking. The writing made colours come to life in my mind. Based on a true story of an artist, this play's emotion and humour had me questioning ideas around history and art that will stay with me a long time
