The seminar Singing in the pool, with masks organised in collaboration with the Théâtre Performance et Societé of the Université Paris 8 and the École Universitaire de Recherche ArTeC – Nanterre, will be held from 5 to 7
March. During the seminar, financed by ANR (Agence Nationale pour la Recherche de France), both theoretical and practical teaching on the use of the mask in theatre, with particular reference to aquatic environments,
will be offered to the students of the University of Nanterre. During the Venetian meeting, which follows an initial seminar held in Paris, curated by Isabelle Moindrot and Giulia Filacanapa, participants will be able to
work on a selection of graphic and pictorial materials conserved in the various archive funds of the Institute for Theatre and Opera. The Institute will also be involved in a series of lectures on the history of contemporary
theatre and the theatrical heritage held at the Fondazione Giorgio Cini.
