Giulio Camillo’s idea for the theatre

An imagined model of Renaissance philosopher Giulio Camillo’s idea for a theatre. His book, ’L’idea del teatro’ (Florence 1550) describes hundreds of images, the position of which in the theatre itself determined the meaning of the image. All of the images were based on myths and archetypes, philosophy, number and the stars and planets. It was Giulio Camillo’s unifying theory of everything. The video begins with a series of images by the English philosopher, Robert Fludd.
