The exhibition focuses on otherness through the mediums of puppet theatre, visual theatre and object theatre.
Puppets, as figures that represent the yearnings, struggles and interior realities of human beings, are understood in a very wide sense. This ranges from realistic looking puppets that are made of wood to the conceptual challenges of robots made using synthetic materials.
Unfolding Figures is part of the IF Barcelona - Puppets, Machines and Marionettes, a far reaching event which takes place each year. This year it is based on three main ideas: the exhibition, a programme of shows and scenic devices for adults and all sectors of the public, and a research and development project.
The exhibition is on both floors at Arts Santa Mònica. "The 7 Doors of Otherness" is on the first floor: a thematic journey around seven areas which focuses on the idea of figurative unfolding. "The Puppet Pantry" is on the second floor. This is an exhibition that focuses on the different scopes, techniques and specifications of puppet theatre.
Those that currently work in the creative sector, individual artists, companies and associations have provided a lot of the things that are exhibited. In terms of the very much alive heritage symbolised by puppets, a large part of the things on display come from museums; especially the MAE de l'Institut del Teatre and TOPIC de Tolosa, Guipuzkoa.
