The doll: A meeting with Gisèle Vienne and Christophe Koné

On January 11, the Georg Kolbe Museum invites you to a conversation between the artist Gisèle Vienne and the literature scholar Christophe Koné. Vienne works with puppets in her theater and dance projects to explore emotional and profound themes. Koné, who wrote his doctoral thesis on puppets in modern German culture and their afterlife in visual culture, explores the cultural significance of the puppet. The talk will offer different perspectives on this fascinating medium – both from an artistic and theoretical point of view.
