Czech Republic

Curators: Simona Rybáková, Šimon Caban Considering the basic paradox of the traditional installation of theatre pieces at exhibitions, when a creation developed for time and space is limited by the surface of the photographic picture and the duration of video footage, we decided to show the progression of an idea from iťs beginning to iťs realization. This allows us to offer more specific information and also a comparison of intentions and achieved aims. We have included eight contemporary designers, experienced in theatre, stage and film or TV design whose work often crosses the borders of their field of activity. Therefore, this installation is freed from the terms of expression of classical theatre and brings an overview and liberation to the presented materials, organization and also content. Our pavilion is a building site, partly finished, but the work never ends there...
