Yugoslavia

Contemporary Yugoslav scenography and costume design is characterized by a deft use of new signs and symbols - various elements and constructions which, when linked to new relations and functions, create on a stage a poetic illusion of scenographic space. This approach often requires the artistry and application of several artistic and technological methods. Modern technology and new materials can live up to these challenges. This exhibition of the works of scenographic art shows some of the above - mentioned efforts. It synthesizes everything that has been happening in the Yugoslavian theatre over the last few years.
