inspired by Giandomenico Tiepolo’s works
Venice at the end of the eighteenth century. The renowned, elderly painter Giandomenico Tiepolo is wandering around the city disguised as a ragamuffin theatre director, offering people his most incredible creation: phantasmagoria, a performance of images with his new paintings that are turned to life thanks to optical contraptions, music and Commedia dell’Arte actors. They bring to life the fairy tale, bizarre life of Pulcinella, the Neapolitan puppet character, narrated through his countless, tragic-comic deaths: how many times does Pulcinella have to die if he is to carry on living?
