During the month of July we will highlight theater, dance and new circus performances from VIVERE ALL'ITALIANA (VIA) ON STAGE, a performance festival in video format, focusing each week on a different theme. Dante delle marionette, by Associazione Grupporiani. Puppet theater. In Italian with English subtitles. VIEW IT HERE

Combining the tradition of Italian Figure Theatre and Dante's poetry, the marionettes illustrate important moments from Dante's masterpiece the Divine Comedy, providing a concrete example of how Dante's fictional work has contributed to the historical tradition of Italian theater combining applied arts and drama. The puppets are moved with short strings and a visible puppeteer exposing the movements behinds the scenes.

The puppet, stripped of its baroque set, returns to its pure essence expressing its potential through the language of film.
