Programme

After having traced a synthetic profile of the relationships between the theatrical cultures of the East and the West, and in particular, between the puppet’s theatre between Asia and Europe, some specific experiences will be examined, including those of some great theatre’s reformers of the twentieth century, some particular traditions of oriental puppet and figure’s theatre and those of the Sicilian puppet’s theatre.
