The idea to replace actors with abstract coloured shapes to be moved along the stage to express different atmospheres and states of mind became fashionable in Italian theatres at the beginning of 20th century and was practised by several artists.

Depero’s Balli plastici, performed in Rome in spring 1918, also included a highly problematic interlude of this kind, Ombre (Shades), which is thoroughly examined in the last part of the articleFile | Dimensione | Formato | |
