She is famous throughout the world, but how many know her name? You
can admire her figure in Washington, Paris, London, New York,
Dresden or Copenhagen but where is her grave? She danced as a
'petit rat' at the Paris Opera. She was also a model, she posed for
painters and sculptors - among them Edgar Degas. Taking us through
the underbelly of the Belle Epoque, Laurens casts a light on those
who have traditionally been overlooked in the study of art, and
opens a space for essential questions. She paints a compelling
portrait of Marie van Goethem and the world she inhabited, in the
1880s; a time when art unsettled the hypocrisy of society.
