About the PQ 2011

The twelfth edition of the Prague Quadrennial was marked by many significant changes. The long-established subheading of “International Exhibition of Scenography and Theatre Architecture” was changed to “Prague Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space”. Sodja Lotker, the Artistic Director for PQ ‘11, explained this change as follows: “Using the term performance design aims toward acknowledging the changes in the theatre in the last decades as well as the changes in scenographic activity being part of numerous genres and disciplines. […] Scenography, or performance design, today can be defined as a complex environment including space, light, sound, and body, an environment for creation of performative relations.”
