The Martin Bodmer Foundation, a unique collection of manuscripts and printed works, is dedicating an exhibition to the theater genre for the first time. In Masks and Theater, it unveils the treasures of its library: incunabula (first editions of Greek tragedies), rare first editions (by Shakespeare, Corneille, and Molière), illustrated art books (Antigone by Hans Erni), and autograph manuscripts (Büchner, Musset). This exceptional selection enters into dialogue with the unique masks that the artist Werner Strub (1935-2012) created for the most prestigious contemporary directors: Giorgio Strehler, Maurice Béjart, and, of course, Benno Besson in Carlo Gozzi's unforgettable The Green Bird (Comédie de Genève, 1982). Masks and Theater is a dive into the making of theater, a fascinating journey through its founding texts.
