☆ (vidoe) O violoncelistă franceză transformă muzeele rămase pustii în perioada de lockdown în spații de artă vindecătoare

Violoncelista franceză Camille Thomas susține recitaluri solo ale unor creații clasice în muzeele din Paris și din jurul capitalei franceze, rămase fără vizitatori din cauza restricțiilor impuse de pandemia de coronavirus, demers care, speră artista, reprezintă o alinare adusă publicului larg în aceste vremuri tulburi, transmite AGERPRES. În timpul pandemiei, violoncelista a susținut deja recitaluri în Palatul Versailles și la Institutul Lumii Arabe, iar săptămâna viitoare este programată să cânte în Grand Palais, un vast spațiu expozițional situat în apropiere de Champs Elysees. O înregistrare video a recitalului său susținut la Muzeul Artelor Decorative din Paris în octombrie a fost vizualizată de 36 575 de ori pe YouTube până vineri. „Vreau să simbolizez prin aceste imagini singurătatea muzicienilor fără public, a muzeelor fără vizitatori”, a precizat Camille Thomas. „Cred că arta şi muzica sunt vindecătoare și este esențial să simți că, după toată perioada aceasta dificilă, te așteaptă atâta frumusețe, este încă acolo și merită să lupți pentru ea”, a adăugat violoncelista franceză.
