From the Prague Quadrennial to Stage|Set|Scenery in Berlin Next year, the Prague Quadrennial (Quadrennial of Performance Design and Space) and Stage|Set|Scenery in Berlin will collaborate for the first time. After seeing the Prague Quadrennial visitors will be able to attend the international trade show and conference for theatre, film, and event technology in Berlin. Wesko Rohde, chairman of DTHG: "The collaboration between these two established events stands for a commitment to Europe, the art of the theatre ensemble and for a wide range of creativity on and behind the stage." The Prague Quadrennial is recognized as the world's leading platform for scenography. Every four years since launching in 1967 it devotes itself to scenography as a field in which various disciplines such as the performative and visual arts, and architecture for instance, interact. The Quadrennial's main focus is the section on countries and regions. The colorful exhibition gives artists from more than 60 countries an opportunity to present new forms of scenography. The slogan of the 14th edition of the Prague Quadrennial, which will take place June 6 - 16, 2019, is "Imagination, Transformation, and Memory." At Stage|Set|Scenery the focus is on the technical implementation of creative ideas. The international trade show and conference for theatre, film, and event technology will take place June 18 - 20 on the Berlin Exhibition Grounds and represents every sector required for a successful production -- ranging from stage equipment and technology to lighting and sound equipment, as well as furnishings, make-up, and costumes. Next year at Stage|Set|Scenery the focus will again be on an exchange of views among practitioners. Visitors can expect a wide-ranging program of events and a host of interactive formats, including round tables, panel discussions, and workshops. Once again, the LightLab curated by Manfred "Ollie" Olma will devote itself to topics concerning lighting, projection, and networks. At the Soundlab trade visitors will be welcome to come and experience the sound of state-of-the-art audio systems. Next year, taking as its slogan "Up in the Air," the Safety in Action stage will focus on stage rigging equipment, drone cameras, and working under suspended loads. Stage|Set|Scenery is held in collaboration with Deutsche Theatertechnische Gesellschaft (DTHG) which also organizes the International Stage Technology Conference, an integral part of the show.
