HALF-LIFE 4.1

 

A gathering of Czech, Slovak, Polish, Hungarian and German scenographers, theoreticians and teachers: Half-life 4.1 will take place in Brno, during the Divadelní svět Brno Festival, due to the growing need of international reflection in the context of Central European Theatre Culture.

Showcase S-HOW & T-ELL

 

  1. 5. 2018 20,00-21,30 Tržnice Brno (Zelný trh 14-16, Brno)

 

Part of the symposium was an evening presentation S-how & T-ell: The participants talked about their creative work in short, 7 minute long presentations (for instance 14 images and 30 seconds to describe each image). We chose presenters mainly from artistic fields, for this part of the symposium, so they can informally present their finished or unfinished scenographic works. Aim of the presentation was to get to know the works of young artists with distinctive and creative approach and unique sources of inspiration.

 

The reason of organizing the S-how & T-ell presentation in the evening of the symposium was the attempt to actively connect the theoreticians and practitioners of theatre (mainly scenographic) arts. Other than representatives of the V4 countries and Germany, the focus was mainly set on Czech scenographers and theoreticians (professionals and students).
