Apocalypsis cum figuris |
Exhibition of photographs by Maurizio Buscarino Mon-Fri 17 June – 5 July, 4pm–8pm CaféTHEA Admission free In 1979 in Milan Maurizio Buscarino, a remarkable Italian artist, photographed the rehearsals and performance of Apocalypsis cum figuris by the Laboratory Theatre, as well as recordings of the film documenting this performance. Until now only some of his pictures were published. After years – at the Grotowski Institute’s request – the author edited the rest of the photographs and chose some of them especially for the exhibition in the historical space of the Laboratory Theatre, where Apocalypsis was created in 1968. The exhibition, which includes forty seven pictures, opened The Grotowski Year in 2009. Maurizio Buscarino was born in Bergamo, Italy on 7 May, 1944. Since 1973, as a photographer, he has travelled all across the “territories” of theatre in Europe, America, and in the East. His work is an impressive documentation of theatre in the last decade of the 20th century, as well as a firm and singular expression of his view of the world.
