From 16-26 June Prague will be consumed by Quadrennial fever!

28.06.2011

This is the world’s biggest event dedicated to performance design and space, where the field is approached in profound and diverse ways (in additional to the traditional competition programme, one can view exhibits that explore lighting architecture, among other things; there is a performance design theory laboratory; and the exhibit “Extreme Costumes” promises to be quite striking). Last time, in 2007, the Quadrennial was visited by 35 000 people. This year a record number of countries are represented – 62, including Estonia.

Estonia even has two exhibits for guests to admire this year. First of all is the display by Reet Aus entitled “Recreation”, which addresses recycling in theatre and is curated by Ene-Liis Semper. Second are the scenography students of the Estonian Academy of Arts with their works, an exhibit that is enlivened each day by a performance at 15.00. The Estonian exhibits are set up in a branch of the National Gallery known as Veletržní palác'ina www.ngprague.cz - the address is Dukelských hrdinů 47). However, during these days you can see, hear and sense the Quadrennial all around the city.
