In the life of the theatre, cinema, television, and other forms of stage creativity important changes are taking place, and mutual relations and understandings are being altered. New forms of narration, and its place, are being sought and chosen. The stage is moving nearer to the public, and the audience is being introduced into the play and becomes a sort of collaborator. Thus the audience is becoming increasingly responsible for the final impression of the performance. In this way, everything becomes a stage, or simply a space for a certain happening, whereby scenography, costumes and masks have to follow carefully all changes and desires. Modern scenography is a play of „wide facets" and compressed forms. With the condensation of idea, space and time, the color and the form are linked essentially to the concept of the performance. To find the most important feature of a play, to find the corresponding space for the achievement of the scenic idea, and to perform the artistic transformation of the stage, it is necessary to penetrate into the very structure of the play, into the personal approach of the director, and to connect and submit all these to the basic idea and procedure. It seems that Yugoslav stage and costume designers are well acquainted with innovations that are appearing and „splashing" modern stage and costume designs. Permanent and essential changes and experiments are taking place all over the world. Stages obtain new values in artistic beauty and space content. The whole of theatrical life exists, more or less, under the sign of constant changes, transformations and contradictions. Yugoslav artists have a lively and in fact passionate interest in all new trends, which they follow closely not only as far as the modern theatre and cinema are concerned, but also all areas of creativity, particularly those connected with the theatre: painting, sculpture, architecture, photography, fashion, industrial design, etc. Constantly seeking unusual forms of expression and introducing innovations, they demonstrate their own artistic incentives, their inspirations. The roads followed by Yugoslav stage and costume designs are numerous and significant. This will be easily confirmed at the Prague Quadrennial 1983. However, financial difficulties and stabilization measures have imposed a more rational use of means and materials. Thus ideas have become simplified and more sparing. Therefore we always have to consider how it is possible to build into these simplified spaces a play, which is highly committed and how the experience of other theatre creators (actors, musicians, etc.) can be utilized. We are faced with a crisis that does not encompass only those who create for the stage, but also those who have to accept and understand what we are doing.
