Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space, the largest festival of its kind in the world, gets underway in Prague on Thursday. Located in various venues around the capital, it will explore scenography in its broadest sense, from scenic art to street performances. I discussed the event with its artistic director, Markéta Fantová, and first asked her about its main theme, which is RARE:
“We chose this topic because it reflects the situation we are all in; the situation of our current world, considering the pandemic we just went through and the Russian aggression.
“The word “rare” seems to express it really well because it allows us to look at unique things in different countries and regions and areas and it also tells the story of what surrounds us. And it seems that countries and regions and their creative teems are reflecting it quite nicely.”
See the rest here.
