Many Planes of Existence: Constructing Worlds in Modernist Theatre photo
Join Josephine Nardecchia, Assistant Curator of Architecture and Design, to explore the constructed worlds of modernist theatre design. 

By focusing on the construction of space, lighting and texture in theatrical environments, learn how avant-garde designers Alexandra Exter (1882-1949) and Georges Braque (1882-1963) transported audiences to other worlds.
