The Disappearing Stage: Reflections on the 2011 Prague Quadrennial
The Disappearing Stage: Reflections on the 2011 Prague Quadrennial is a book of reflections on the recent 12th edition of the Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space. The authors include both domestic and foreign theorists and artists: Marvin Carlson (USA), Christopher Baugh (UK), Thea Brejzek (DE), Beth Weinstein (USA), Guy Gutman (IL) and Barbora Příhodová (CZ). The publication’s editor as well as author of last essay is American theatre theorist Arnold Aronson. The book’s essays look at various projects or aspects of the 2011 Prague Quadrennial, but many of which serve as a starting point for a deeper theoretical evaluation of contemporary theatre and scenography.

Expanding Scenography
Thea Brejzek
Scenography, discussed here as a transdisciplinary practice of the design of performance spaces, can no longer be assigned to a singular genre and a singular author. It is rather its fl uid articulation of staging spaces between the disciplines of theatre, exhibition, installation, media and architecture that renders scenography particularly suitable to formulate speculative spaces of potentiality. The original visual essays and theoretical positions in Expanding Scenography: On the Authoring of Space posit and survey recent scenographic practice as an expanded field of presence. They are fuelled by a commitment to performance as providing a unique and stubbornly critical voice from within our society.
