My visit to Prague PQ Festival/ Theatre Design Practices

During my visit to PQ festival in Prague i collected photographs from the scenography works and exhibitions i found more interesting. The practices of 'theatrical design' involve  the collection of diverse images and found objects, their dislocation in an other space(the space of the play), as well as their constant transformation over time.
Milon Kalis exhibition:



































































His sketches of the narrative, structure and characters reveal a process of work which invoves collaging: juxtaposition of diverse fragments substracted from reality and their original context, mixed with his own fantasy until they obtain a totally new meaning.































































































































The following photos are from a students' exhibition. I apologize for not remembering the name of the college. Again what fascinated me was the surprising juxtaposition of different realities: true vegetation  grows and water runs on a floor made of tiles, a bathtab is turned into an armchair,...


































































The next photo is from a mural in one of the exhibition spaces. Interesting enough, it was not one of the exhibits.
