CARAVAGGIO: BEYOND THE CANVAS
CARAVAGGIO: BEYOND THE CANVAS is a theatrical and cinematic journey through the life of Caravaggio.
Four pivotal moments in Caravaggio’s life will be experienced within individual themed environments, immersing visitors into the world, the emotions, the tragedies, and the life of Caravaggio. During this 45-minute experience, visitors will enter the artist’s world through theatrical reconstruction, narrations, video projections, and sensory elements.
Meet Caravaggio through the stories of his friends, relatives, lovers and enemies, and witness him from new perspectives: passion to pain, disappointment to success, rage to satisfaction, arrogance to generosity, and from the paintings to the painter.
