A monodrama created especially for the Florence Griswold Museum. Conceived and performed by Christopher Eaves, performances of EN PLEIN AIR coincide with the Museum's exhibition Impressionist Giverny: American Painters in France, 1885–1915. Filled with color, movement and sound, EN PLEIN AIR is an immersive theatrical experience with video projection of Impressionist paintings transporting audiences through the picturesque landscapes of Giverny, France and Old Lyme, Connecticut.
