Max Neuhaus's Involvement

Max Neuhaus's contributions are detailed within the context of the avant-garde theatrical and musical events of the mid-1960s in Italy: 

  • Event: He participated in the XXIV Festival del Teatro di Prosa held in Venice in September/October 1965.
  • Context: This festival was a significant moment for experimental performance in Italy, notably featuring the Living Theatre with their production of Frankenstein.
  • Contribution: Neuhaus, a highly regarded percussionist in the musical avant-garde at the time, brought his groundbreaking approach to sound and performance to the Italian scene. The publication likely discusses how his work, which began to bridge the gap between music and contemporary art, fit into the burgeoning multimedia arts system being explored in Italy. 

The "gallery" project curated by Veronica Budini, Donatella Orecchia, and Carlotta Sylos Calò uses documentation, images, and historical context to trace how artists like Neuhaus contaminated traditional theatre with new media and artistic practices
