Such a Theater: Ancient Theater in the Mirror of Art
How was theater made visible in Greco-Roman antiquity? The Sunday tour at the Academic Art Museum Bonn invites you to take a closer look at representations of theater, role models, and stage culture. On Sunday, November 15, 2026, Elena Hoffmann will convey art-historical connections between archaeology, theater history, and ancient visual arts in German.
Masks, Roles, and Moving Bodies
Ancient theatrical representations connect physical presence with symbolic condensation. Masks, gestures, and costumes refer to tragedy, comedy, and the societal roles of theater. In the examination of the works, the focus is on forms, expression, and image composition, as well as the question of how artists translated stage action into sculpture, relief, or ceramics.
