Before Charles Percier designed furniture and interiors for Napoleon Bonaparte, he supervised the creation of theatrical stage sets for the Paris Opera. Bard Graduate Center invites children and their caretakers to explore Percier’s dramatic imagination on an educator-led tour of Charles Percier: Architecture and Design in an Age of Revolutions, then create colorful and expressive masks for their own performance in our studio. Characters from both ancient Greek drama and Charles Percier’s own social world come alive through folding, curling, ripping, and layering paper. Who will you be? Tragedy or comedy, an artist or an empress?
