The current issue of Divadelní revue focuses on the topic of scenography, in the broadest possible concept and with the greatest possible historical scope. It also partly returns to the Prague Quadrennial and recalls the symposium of the Scenography Working Group IFTR/FIRT. It is dedicated to Eva Šormová, long-time head of the Cabinet for the Study of Czech Theatre, initiator of the Divadelní revue and former organiser of the SWG IFTR/FIRT symposium, who would have turned eighty this year.

“In this issue, we present scenography not only as a metaphorical representation of the world, but also as an active part of the theatrical performance that is in constant interaction with the actor’s body. We reflect on the diverse approaches of scenography that animate theatrical creation and connect contemporary and historical practice.”
