The Polish theatre talk about itself at the Theatre House of Rome. The exhibition called “All about Theatre in a poster. Poland 1989-2009” seems to be unusual for a middle artistic sensibility. Nevertheless a date (1989) in the title has to call back immediately an event into your mind: the Berlin Wall Fall. This is what this exhibition, lasting till October 17th, wants to tell to his public: the historical changes made by the Great Wall Fall in the Polish nation through the artistic theatre poster.
This exhibition tells about the society transformation caused by the Wall Fall through an expressive medium. From the XIX century to the Wall Fall the theatre posters was where the most famous artist and the censors ones had been able to express themselves in the same way, far away from the censorship bar.

From 1888 to 1978, from Symbolism through Metaphysic to new Metaphysic, nature theme is essential for De Chirico. Representing Nature as an emblem of the reality’s depth he conceives it as a duty, a objective and a challenge for the artist. Truth is an hermeneutics of this challenge.
The real meaning of nature’s idealization and glorification as it appears in “vite silenti”, the one of nature’s wild-eyed transfiguration as in “Piazze d’Italia” or the one of nature’s negation as it appears in Dummies geometries, is a unitary truth transmuted in a progress of hermeneutics ideas.
