Ghostly beauty, bewitching beauty: glass. It can take on any colour and make it shine. Prepare to be enthralled by this delicate material. It will cast a spell on you – from the sensuously sculpted woman in an evening gown of black glass, life-size but headless, to the shimmering monochrome vessels from Murano, some seemingly as delicate as soap bubbles. Welcome to the New York underground of the 1970s! The Apollo Varieté takes you into the legendary club CBGB, where punk and new wave were born. Bold circus artistry and the pulsating sounds of Blondie, Iggy Pop and The Police bring the spirit of this wild era to life onstage. Humans and animals floating in the air, violinists on rooftops and fabulous creatures populate the overwhelmingly colourful compositions of Marc Chagall. Immerse yourself in the luminescently poetic world of the Russian-French painter – and discover his early experiments, which along with the avant-garde influences of his time also reveal Chagall’s lesser-known, darker, socially critical side. In K20.
