About this episode
This interview took us for a spin through a myriad of worlds - from the rambunctious and chaotic Commedia dell’Arte performances of Renaissance Italy through the clown-like persona of Donald Trump to UFO mythologies! All of it viewed through the lens of the carnivalesque. Our guest Petter Madegård is a visual artist, a director of film and theatre and an actor. He is the inventor of the Commedia dell’Arte-inspired live animation theatre Cinema dell’Arte. Enjoy this interview filled with the uncontained power of spring.
