• Puppetry and other arts

Creators: Brunella Eruli

/ | Contents/Chapters: The presence of puppets in an opera performance may seem like a contradiction in terms, but since the 18th century, opera has made frequent use of wooden actors, delegating the vocal part to castrati or sopranists - fascinating creatures, but just as disquieting, in terms of human codes, as the puppet. But what is the puppet's voice? It's not a question of imitating or reproducing the human, but rather of expanding our knowledge of its limits and contours, leading the spectator into territories approachable only through the tremor of the parody it throws at our ears and, between the ears, in our faces. | Materials: 164 p. ; ill. in color ; 24 cm
