Space within space – the development of stage venues in Slovenia, from backstage spaces to spaces without borders
In line with the development of other theatre branches, the form of stage spaces also began to develop after the First World War. In addition, there were often venues that, due to their new form, also influenced the way of acting, directing and dramaturgy. Famous Slovenian visual artists and architects were also involved in the new concepts of stage venues, for example Avgust Černigoj, Gabrijel Stupica, Marij Pregelj, Maksim Gaspari, Ivan Vavpotič, Ivo Spinčič, Mirko Lipužič, Drago Tršar, Janez Lenassi, Jakob Savinšek, Meta Hočevar, Marko Japelj... In spaces without borders, venues also began to be built with mobile technical devices, new media, television, film footage, projections and spotlights. The lecture will guide you through the stages of different types of stage venues and their development until 1991.
