Segismundo y otros mundos

Sylvia Libedinsky

30/03/06. (Sala 239)

The multifaceted Sylvia Libedinsky, architect, plastic artist, designer, illustrator and versifier, has explored art from various platforms and disciplines, but without ever straying far from her ironic and mocking look at the objects that surround us, political events and social trends of the moment.

At La Sala Vinçon she presents a comic of the modern world, based on Calderón de la Barca’s classic play “La Vida es Sueño” (Life is a Dream), whose main character is Segismundo. There will also be musical animals in action.
