Prague Quadrennial 2023 - call for participation of the SA theatre and stage design artists

The Prague Quadrennial (PQ) was founded in 1967 as an international exhibition of theatre design and architecture. Over the years, it has become a unique platform that connects artists, institutions, professionals, researchers, students and the general public via various projects and activities. Once every four years, it all culminates in a 11-day festival in Prague. It is open not only to official representation of countries and regions within the main exhibitions but also to independent artists and artist collectives, educators and students who can participate in the extensive program of additional projects.
 

The 14th edition of the largest international festival of theatre and stage design took place from 6th to 16th June 2019 on the Prague Exhibition Grounds premises and elsewhere in Prague. During those 11 days, the PQ locations drew some 70,000 viewers. 8,005 professionals, students and other active participants from 106 countries accredited for the main part of the program consisting of exhibitions, lectures, workshops, and performances.

The Prague Quadrennial is organized by the Ministry of Culture of the Czech Republic and realized by the Arts and Theatre Institute.
