REALITY AT WORK, DEREK JARMAN AND BOB WILSON IN MAY
The Maggio Musicale Fiorentino, from its first edition, has developed a special relationship with the artists, called to work as creators of sets and costumes for operas and ballets. Luca Scarlini tells two fundamental paths of the twentieth century in the theater, between the resonances of the great futurist lesson and the time of the neo avant-gardes. The twentieth century seen from the observatory of the longest-running festival in Italy, in the plots of four protagonists of twentieth-century art, now on display at the Museo Novecento with their works.
The meetings go hand in hand with the collective exhibition Artisti al Teatro, created in collaboration with the Teatro del Maggio Musicale Fiorentino Foundation, which collects a selection of figures, sketches and models signed by Gino Severini, Enrico Prampolini, Mario Sironi, Fausto Melotti, Toti Scialoja, Franco Angeli, Piero Sadun, Piero Dorazio, Bob Wilson , Derek Jarman, Giacomo Manzù and Giulio Paolini.
