Spettatori (Spectators)

illustration series for the exhibition "Spettatori (Spectators)", il Teatro della Pegola e il suo pubblico, Firenze, from Feb 5t to April 5th 2020. Spettatori is an exhibition about the history of the oldest theatre in Firenze, called Teatro della Pergola, seen through the descriptions of the spectators that has been into it since its foundation, more than 300 years ago and focusing on some “curious” and/or not-so-well-known fact. My task was to create a bunch of seven / eight illustrations depicting “some scene” related to some key moment in the 300-years running history of the theatre. The illustrations would have been used as big background panels or big cut-out panel, to be paired to the items in display.
