Francie

The French exposition at the Prague Quadrennial 1983 has been organized by the French Theatrical Centre of the ITI, under the auspices of the French Association for Artistic Activities and in cooperation with the Trade Union of Stage Designers and the French Association of Stage Designers and Stage Technicians (OISTT). The French selection submits the work of architects and stage designers which is characterized by pluralistic trends in means of expressions. Some architects and stage designers after the forming of a theatrical space also create the stage designs for productions in this theatrical space, so that they are able to verify for themselves the effectiveness of their project (Bernard Guillaumot). Other stage designers are on the other hand concentrating on how to place the audience around the performance of a play (Guy-Claude Francois). Still other stage designers are also the stage directors of the performance (Frangoise Grund) and some are even its authors (Beatrice Tanaka). While in past Prague Quadrennial exhibitions we were witnesses to the adaptation of stage designers to various architectures, such as multipurpose and variable auditoriums . . . (as can be seen in a number of new buildings), in Houses of Culture, Cultural Centres, Houses for All, in Houses of Culture for Youth, we now see the outline of a new trend, which seems to be directed at taking into consideration theatrical action as a whole. The stage designer is no longer satisfied with only expressing himself in a specifically and traditionally limited area, but is extending his contribution in multivarious ways.
