London : A life-size art installation featuring over a dozen of Shakespeare’s famous creations handcrafted from paper and cardboard to mark the legendary writer’s 400 death anniversary, is causing much ado about ‘something’, reports PTI.
The show at Birmingham City University (UK) which displays scale models over six feet tall, a three-meter-high balcony and even a walk-in tavern, has been made as a tribute to mark 400 years since the Bard’s death. Each piece in the installation was individually crafted by 22 first year students from the University’s Design for Theatre, Performance and Events degree course.
Among the figures on show are a likeness of Shakespeare writing at his desk and full size replicas of some of theatre’s most famous names – including Richard III, Romeo and Juliet, King Lear and Caliban.
The installation housed in the Shell space at the University’s Parkside building in Birmingham city centre is open to the public until February 26.
