Obsah

This course is a continuation of Contemporary Scenography. It focuses on developments and topics in scenography of the last 50 years. Building on and expanding your knowledge from the previous semester, we will continue examining practices, styles, and artistic and ideological principles of theater makers in Europe and beyond who have used performance space and design in new, unconventional ways to contest the aesthetic, and sometimes political, norms of their communities. An important source will be Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space in its transformations. Through analyses of visual and audiovisual materials, and occasionally readings, we will discuss topics, such as scenographic (re)interpretations of the ‘classics’ (Wagner, Chekhov, Ibsen); digital scenography on stage, and what it means to decolonize scenography.
