MIT International Puppet Museum in Catalonia
A visual instrument that plays with chance and the music of forms.
The week after MIT's inauguration, from November 21 to 25, we had theinternship of the great Polish puppeteer Tadeusz Wierzbicki.
The purpose of this stay was to prepare the show «Un estudi en caos – INFLAMACIONS», which served as the end of fsummer IfBarcelona 2022, and was offered on November 26 as part of the International Puppet Museum of Catalonia.
In this creation, the screen became a visual instrument playing with chance and the music of forms. We could see how figures that change shape and color were created on the screen using the phenomena of light polarization and electrostatic forces.
Tadeusz Wierzbicki is a graduate of the Department of Puppet Theater Management of the Warsaw State School of Dramatic Art (1986); poet, storyteller, screenwriter. Since 1987 he lives and works in a traditional peasant farm in Majaczewice (near Sieradz), which he has turned into his studio.
He has created several new techniques of visual theater: theater of light reflected in formed mirrors , shadow theater and electrostatic stained glass windows , magnetic shadow theater , natural light theater. Most of the activities of Wierzbicki they consist of presenting shapes on the screen: shadow, light, reflection. He develops everything himself, from the idea through the stage to the presentations.
Del 21 al 25 de novembre prepararà a la seu del MIT l’espectacle «Un estudi en caos – INFLAMACIONS».
He has presented his works in festivals in Poland, most European countries and in Turkey, Israel, Mexico and Brazil.
