Futurism and Constructivism: Crash Course Theater #39

It’s time to go Back…to the Future. By which I mean, we’re going back into the past to talk about Futurism. Which seems like it would be cool, but it was started by this terrible guy Martinetti, who also wrote the Italian Fascist manifesto. He was just the worst, but, at least he was the worst in a way that makes a pretty compelling video. We’ll also check in with the Russian theater, and learn about generally nicer Futurist Vsevolod Meyerhold, who also was very influential in constructivism. So get ready to fire up the meaning machine and learn!
