KATALOG (ke stažení) - Prague Quadrennial

Vu le fait qu'il faut avoir des lieux scéniques bien équipés, adéquats
aux nombres de représentations et aux exigences du public ďaujourďhui,
un mouvement créateur ďarchitectes a pris naissance ayant pour but
de soutenir les constructions et les reconstructions de bátiments de
théátre. , .. ,
Un des derniers, et le mieux réussi des exemple est la restauration du
vieux bátiment du Teatres de 1'Institute dont 1'objectif est ďoffrir un
espace théátral aux groupes dramatiques ainsi qďaux personnes índividuelles
(pantomime, marionnettes, théátre ďessai) auxquels de nombreux
obstacles empěchent de pouvoir se produire dans les theatres officiels.
During recent years the Catalan theatre, even more than the theatre
of the other cultures of Spain, has undergone a pronounced process of
normalization which is the result of the new political situation and
a sound immédiate tradition whose main characteristic is creativity
In this context, the consolidation of expériences from 1960 to 1975i has
given rise to a new institutional theatre supported by public institutions
and diversified private offerings which range over all fields of dramatic
création from répertoire to new visual forms or frontier genres such
as theaťre-dance. One of the most originál and creative aspects of the
Catalan theatre is stage design. With a historical background of a very
rich stage design tradition, brilliantly developed from romanticism to
the decade of the „isms", with their immédiate background in the radical
renovation of the last two decades, stage and costume designers
have created a diverse plastic language. Among these professionals
Fabiá Puigserver with his ripe style and professional virtuosity stands
out He has become one of the specialists in greatest demand by the
Catalan theatre and theatres in the rest of Spain and his work has begun
to penetrate in Europe and America.
At the samé time, because of the need to provide well-eqmpped spaces
for performing adequate to the volume of productions and the new
audience of recent years, a quite important creative mouvement of
theatrical architecture has started, which concerns both new buildings
and the restoration and adaptation of old ones. One of the latest and
most successful examples of restoration of old buildings is the Teatres
de 1'Institute with its aim: to provide a stage for public performances
those companies and genres (mime, puppets, experimental theatre)
