The Ravello Foundation, in collaboration with the Lia Rumma Gallery, presents William Kentridge, an exhibition of works by an artist for whom music, theatre and image are part of a single creative process – opened on 3 July 2026 at Villa Rufolo and continuing until 5 September as part of the 74th edition of the Ravello Festival.
One of the most profound and constitutive aspects of William Kentridge's research is the relationship between drawing, sound, word, music, opera and theatre. Throughout his work, the mark is never merely a fixed image, but action, rhythm, a trace in motion, appearance and erasure. It emerges, disappears, returns, transforms into sequence, into voice, into visual score. Drawings, videos, installations, sculptures and works tied to the artist's scenic and musical dimension make up an itinerary that unfolds across the villa's rooms and the garden designed by Francis Nevile Reid in the 19th century, in a continuous dialogue between architectural space and open landscape.
