ANTONIO PANZUTO / STAGE DESIGNER AND ARTIST

An atypical figure in the Italian theatre outline, Antonio Panzuto is a gentle demiurge, a scene artist escaping from labels with a smiling discretion. His theatrical machines are inhabited by objects and characters moved by an entanglement of wires. By mixing wood and metal, ropes and cloth, the artist gives birth to visions that follow the secret dictates of a pictorial dramaturgy that proceeds by affinities and correspondences rather than by logical or narrative connexions.
