20709720 - TRADITIONS, CRAFTS, LIVING THEATER

OBJECTIVES AND PROGRAMME
Study meetings and laboratory meetings dedicated to specific areas of puppet theatre framed by scholars, artists and teachers both from an historiographical point of view and from the scenic practice's perspective. The objective is to analyse the “living” puppet theatre, its expressive possibilities and, at the same time, the great traditions included in it, that today live renewing themselves. So, traditions and crafts, but also history and modernity of a living theatre. Material theatre and, at the same time, theatre of history and memory.
