Gus Van Sant

|Creation 2021

Pop art and glam under the guidance of Gus Van Sant. The award-winning filmmaker tries his hand at the theater for the first time with an opus inspired by the mythical figure of Andy Warhol. Trouble is a musical show that retraces the rise of this iconic figure that shook up and left his mark on the art world in the 1960s. Transforming everyday objects into works, the Pop Art star rules over his workshop studio, the Factory, where underground New York artists converge. Between the walls of vast contemporary art galleries, ten young performers dressed in pop colors embody a universe impeccably composed by Gus Van Sant. Trouble’s well-orchestrated succession of scenes reveals the extent of the multifaceted American artist’s talent, as a master of observation and restitution of an effervescent youth.
