Milan, 1913: Filippo Tomasso Marinetti published his manifesto "Il teatro di varietà" (The Variety Theatre). He pleads for a new concept of theatre which must be able to give the audience more pure joy, through its erotic, comic and imaginative programs. With the accent on light, colour and sound, a modern theatre must content elements of a circus, cabaret, night bar and musical. (In my drawing I put the accent on circus, but not on clowns, alluding to Marinetti’s attitude in his "Futurist Manifesto" from 1909: "We will glorify… scorn for woman").
