Hermann Nitsch's Total Theatre: Exhibition and Symphony at ArtVerona
The Museo AMO in Verona is currently hosting an exhibition titled 'Hermann Nitsch e il teatro,' curated by Hubert Clocker. This event explores the theatrical elements of Nitsch's work, particularly focusing on his 'Theatre of Orgies and Mysteries.' Visitors can see a variety of materials including images, scores, films, serigraphs, costumes, and stage artifacts called 'relitti.' A special synesthesia room adds to the atmosphere with video and music. This exhibition is a collaboration among several organizations, including ArtVerona and the Vienna Nitsch Foundation. Additionally, the Orchestra Filarmonica di Verona performed 'Sinfonia per Verona' at the Auditorium della Gran Guardia, under the direction of Andrea Cusumano. The exhibition runs from October 15, 2016, to January 8, 2017.
