The poster
2025
Robert Wilson has depicted the Barcolana with a composition that is both rigorous and theatrical: every element is arranged with scenographic precision, where light plays a central role, and where the passion of art meets the sea through powerful, primary graphic forms. The blue, illuminated by light, becomes sky, sea, and sails, bringing the event back to its essence and masterfully narrating the key elements of the regatta.
To create the poster, Wilson drew inspiration from a line in Lady from the Sea, a collaboration with Susan Sontag, who rewrote Ibsen’s classic for the American director.
