Università Roma Tre

After tracing a synthetic profile of the relationships between the theatrical cultures of the East and the West, and in particular, between the theaters of figure between Asia and Europe, some specific experiences will be examined, including those of some great theater reformers of the twentieth century, some particular traditions of puppet and oriental figure theaters and those of the Sicilian puppet theater.
