From 1900 until the interwar period, puppet theatre became a field of artistic experimentation. Maurice Maeterlinck’s symbolist theatre in particular inspired a large number of artists.

In the search for new forms of representation that focussed not on language but on visual-spatial design, puppets became a new and innovative way out. Also, unlike actors, puppets allowed the creation of a completely artificial world that could interact with the stage set.
This lecture will outline how the puppet could thus contribute to a renewal of the theatre, but also allow a new view of avant-garde sculpture.
Elisabeth Heymer is an art historian and researches the points of contact between theatre and the visual arts around 1900.
The lecture is a joint event with the Einstein Forum in Potsdam and will take place IN POTSDAM as a face-to-face event on 21 November 2024 at 7 pm.
A live stream via Zoom is possible.
Visitors to the lecture will have the opportunity to take part in a free guided tour of the exhibition on 23 November 2024.
Registration for the guided tour is possible on the evening of the lecture.
