| Description | In a Czech theatrical world that has prided itself in a traditionally strong emphasis on both creating and theorising the visual aspects of performance, the notion of scenography has been well established for a long time now, together with the theoretical works that underpin it. This paper attempts to present what is probably the most elaborate of such theoretical treatises, The Specificiy of Scenography by Vladimir Jindra, one of the leading Czech scholars of Theatre Studies and the originator of the concept of the Prague Quadrennial. |
