the magic of masks and puppets |
||
|
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. |
