The course outlines the history of the mask and proposes the history of its mythopoiesis in modern and contemporary times through critical bibliography and the analysis of some performances in prose and music, as well as the study of the forms of its persistence in cinema, in dance, in animation. The lessons will focus on some interpreters and some capital preparations in the nineteenth and twentieth centuries.
