FiF is happy to announce that the legendary Bruno Leone will hold a puppetry workshop for performers. The workshop is aimed at adults, students and professional puppetry artists and will cover techniques of performing with Pulcinella puppets.
Duration of workshop: 5 hours, including breaks.

Bruno Leone is credited with single handedly rescuing the Neapolitan street tradition of Pulcinella puppetry from extinction in the 1970s by carefully building a relationship with its last surviving practitioner Nunzio Zampella.

Since then Bruno – and his subsequent artistic collaborators, colleagues and students – have ensured a glorious revival of the tradition and made Pulcinella an honoured guest at festivals around the world.

Bruno is not only a supreme amabassador, maestro and teacher of his tradition, but has made it his artistic mission to bring Pulicinella into contact with the major themes of great art: war, betrayal, power and love. In addition to his incomparable traditional street show his productions have included: Pulcinella and the French Revolution; The Tale of the Poet and Pulcinella; Pulcinella and St. Gennaro; and Pulcinella in Palestine.

This workshop is in collaboration with Figurfestspillene and Istituto Italiano di Cultura in Norway.

The workshop will be held in English.
