ČESKA A SLOVENSKA FEDERATIVNÍ REPUBLIKA

The Prague Quadrennial of 1987 has concluded by the Czechoslovak exhibition a certain chapter of its history. Those who are coming these days are bound to unravel the never — ending parcel of tasks endlesly. After all, it concerns not scenography only; the best exhibitions of the Prague Quadrennial have always aimed to evaluate their broadest possible interconnections. These being more and more identical with the horizons of our every day reality. ln the revolution of 1989 the Czechoslovak theatre has identified itself once more as its most integral part. This is why we tried to project our past space of life into the dramatic space of our exhibition. The actual state of evolution we consider to be a beginning — perhaps rather chaotic — nevertheless necessary as a starting point for future development.
