Cathedral of Light: "Shining a Light in Dark Times"

Robert Wilson’s installation Star and Stone: a kind of love … some say opened on May 24 in Rouen, on the cathedral Notre-Dame de Rouen, which was famously painted many times by Claude Monet. The installation can be viewed Fridays and Saturdays at 11PM until June 29, then each night in July at 11PM, each night in August at 10:30PM (10PM starting Aug. 16), and again Fridays and Saturdays at 9:30PM until September 28.

The Financial Times wrote an in-depth article about the work: “Robert Wilson in Rouen: shining a light in dark times” by Anna Sansom (May 27, 2024)

The French-German TV programme “arte” aired this piece on the Normandy Impressionist Festival on June 9, 2024.

A closer look at Star and Stone starts around 17’25”:
