Niger et Albus
Niger et Albus is the official catalogue of the Venice Biennale Theatre 2024, designed by Tomo Tomo Studio. A book that goes from black to white, crossed by silver. Cross-cut by alchemical fascinations and the universe of combinatorial play. A voyage of discovery and deconstruction that interprets the pivotal theme of this fifty-second International Theatre Festival, a labyrinthine and fragmentary journey but also one of discovery and ascent, from black to white.
Composed entirely in Union, with widespread use of all caps to allow the typographic composition to draw a page grid as regular as possible, so as to integrate with the basic grid pattern made up of all the squares that from time to time appear or disappear on the page. Printed in three colors on normal, black, and transparent paper.
Edited by Stefano Ricci and Gianni Forte. Editorial co-ordination by Flavia Fossa Margutti. Published by La Biennale di Venezia.
