Baroque Magic” exhibition
The Saturday 14 June at 10 a.m00
Château de Voltaire Allée du Château 01210 Ferney-Voltaire
This exhibition highlights the figure of the Baroque magician and her enchantments, through a spectacular itinerary!
Capable of imprisoning knights in their gardens of illusion, metamorphosing men or unleashing lightning bolts, magicians such as Circe, Alcina or Armide were a major figure in Baroque culture. Literary classics of the period, such as Ariosto's “Le Roland furieux” (1532) and Tasso's “La Jérusalem délivrée” (1581), highlight the mysterious role they played in courtly ballets and spectacles. With your family, discover these women who, in operas and court plays, were often the double of the set designer. The latter used prodigious stage machinery and effects to bring magic to life on stage: transformation, disappearance, light effects… Join us on a dreamlike journey along this new artistic path, and walk in the footsteps of these magicians!
