MARIONETTE E AVANGUARDIA | PALAZZO MAGNANI, REGGIO EMILIA

The exhibition “MARIONETTE E AVANGUARDIA” (PUPPETS AND THE AVANTGARDE), curated by James Bradburne, is currently ongoing at Palazzo Magnani in Reggio Emilia.

The exhibition revolves around the work of various artists – including Picasso, Depero, Klee, and Sarzi – who understood the artistic value of objects such as puppets and marionettes. The show explores the concept of the ‘fourth wall’, the ability of a performance to successfully engage the audience. When a puppet manages to ‘break the fourth wall’ and gain the trust of the audience, the show demonstrates the power to transcend the edge between stage and real world, between art and life.
