Extract

Since its inception in 1967, the Prague Quadrennial, an international exhibition of stage design and theatre architecture, has been a focal event for the world's best theatre practitioners, historians, and critics. Held every four years, the Quadrennial features exhibits from around the world that exemplify the breadth, depth, and variety of approaches to theatrical practice. The 1999 Quadrennial provided a forum for discussing the topic “Theatrical Space in Postmodern Times: Contemporary Concepts and Methodologies,” and was hosted by the Theatre Institute in Prague and the Scenography Working Group of the International Federation for Theatre Research. In Space and the Postmodern Stage, select essays from this Quadrennial's presentations suggest, as coeditor Irene Eynat-Confino remarks, “the many facets of postmodernism on the stage and in theatre sites” (9).
