The musical celebrates the art of creation and the creation of art. In the first half, set in 1884, the people - and the animals - in the painting come to life in a world where, for artist Georges, art comes before love, before everything. In the second half, set a century later, Seurat's great-grandson is searching for inspiration amidst the unforgiving world of contemporary art in New York.
