Masks, puppets
and performing objects are one of the most ancient and popular
forms of theatre. They can perhaps be best understood as a point
of synthesis for all the arts, a unique combination of visual
art, design, craft,dance, music, opera and drama. It is a vibrant
living, breathing, subversive art form which plays a major role
in modern theatre; and has developed unique applications into
film, television and the media..
Scottish
Mask & Puppet Centre, Scotland’s primary venue, gallery, training
centre and resource in this field has compiled a touring exhibition
of masks and puppets. This exhibition chronicles the history of
the world’s oldest theatrical tradition, and also displays its
contemporary relevance.
Puppets have
always had a mystery and a magic. This Exhibition captures that
magic and makes it accessible to people of all ages and backgrounds.
