Matisse + Van Gogh: The Immersive Shows (Iași)

The show offers an emotional and visual journey into the chromatic universe of French painter Henri Matisse, capturing his artistic evolution from shades of grey to the intensity of red. The show has a duration of 20 minutes and is structured in 7 acts, built around two major moments of tension: the experience of war and the confrontation with illness. Red becomes the central color of the narrative, symbolizing both deep emotion and the inner strength of transformation. The new show explores themes such as: the transition from grey to color, the expressiveness of forms, the impact of war on Matisse’s work, illness as a turning point in his career, and artistic reinvention through the cut-out technique. In the climactic moments of the show, the audience is surrounded by monumental projections of iconic works, accompanied by a soundtrack that reflects the emotional state of each act. Inspired by Van Gogh’s letters to his brother, the show aims to offer the audience a captivating glimpse into the world of the famous Dutch artist. Selected quotes from Van Gogh’s correspondence add a personal and profound touch to the narrative. “Van Gogh, The Immersive Show” is not just a digital presentation of the master’s artwork, but an interactive and moving journey into his creative universe, combining state-of-the-art technology and spectacular projections with the artistic genius of Vincent van Gogh. Among the works you’ll be able to admire during the immersive exhibition are the well-known “Starry Night,” “Self-Portrait,” “Wheatfield with Crows,” “Irises,” and “The Potato Eaters,” as well as works from his early creative period.
