Brazil!

Yesterday evening, the winners of the 2011 Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space awards were announced at the National Theatre’s New Stage. Returning home with the Golden Triga, the most prestigious award in the field is the team from Brazil. The objective of the Brazilian exhibit was to present scenography as a provocative art that “establishes a pulsating frontier of languages” and provides a safe haven for theatrical characters and ideas. The Brazilians also took home the award for Best Realization of a Production. Other awards went to Croatia, Latvia, Hungary, New Zealand, Mexico, Greece, the UK and Norway.
