This year’s edition of “Homo Faber,” a large showcase of craftsmanship in Venice, which was inaugurated in 2018 by the Michelangelo Foundation (Geneva), focuses on the creative landscape of Japan. In this context, Robert Wilson is curating an installation entitled “WAITING with peace and darkness.”
“The iconic American director and visual artist Robert Wilson shines a light on the Japanese inspiration behind his theatrical productions, notably Puccini’s Madama Butterfly. This evocative exhibition will allow visitors to be immersed in Wilson’s staging genius, as he transforms the former Gandini 1960s swimming pool into a dramatic theatrical stage with his signature use of lighting, sound, costumes, artworks, videos, objects and furniture, created in collaboration with master artisans using time-honoured techniques. Featuring video portraits of Japanese choreographer Suzushi Hanayagi, the exhibition plays with displays of different mediums.”
