The magic of the theatre<\/strong>, present in the costumes<\/strong>, the iconography<\/strong>, the nature of the characters<\/strong> and the scenes<\/strong>, in this exhibition takes on a new reality through the iconographic world and the object. A round trip in which the theatrical performance<\/strong> has been the creative source of certain images<\/strong>, and these, at the same time, have inspired scenic solutions<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are different ways of establishing links between plastic arts and theatre.<\/strong> The most obvious is to look at the sets and stage designs<\/strong> of renowned artists: Pablo Picasso <\/strong>and his works for the Ballets Russes<\/strong>, Joan Mir\u00f3 <\/strong>and the sets and costumes for the Diaghilev company<\/strong>, or Oskar Schlemmer<\/strong> and the costumes he created for the Triadic Ballet<\/strong>, when he was director of the theatre department of the Bauhaus<\/strong>. But what if instead of exploring the influence of art on theatre, we look at the influence that theatre has had on art<\/strong>?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

All the world’s a stage<\/strong><\/em> includes works by renowned artists in an extensive timeline that goes back to the 18th and 19th centuries<\/strong> with Giovanni Battista Piranesi<\/strong>, Mariano Benlliure<\/strong>, Eugenio Lucas Vel\u00e1zquez <\/strong>or Ricard Urgell<\/strong>; and more recently to the 20th century<\/strong> with Nicolau Raurich<\/strong>, Joan Pon\u00e7<\/strong>, Modest Cuixart<\/strong>, Mariano Andreu<\/strong>, Antoni Clav\u00e9<\/strong>, among others. The interest of the proposal lies in recognising how the artist<\/strong>, consciously or not, has used theatrical elements<\/strong> to create his work, to find his own voice, which has inevitably led us to find a new reading of some pieces. Likewise, this exhibition encompasses different languages<\/strong>: painting, sculpture, engraving, photography and objects -such as the masks of the Noh<\/em> theatre of Japan- and is organised around three thematic axes: costumes, characterisations and scenography. The selection also includes works produced as part of theatrical projects<\/strong>: drawings, specific plans for staging, sketches of sets and costumes which, in addition to their artistic value, stand out for their historical-documentary content.<\/p>\n\n\n
