The Golden Triga of the Prague Quadrennial is traveling to Russia

Prague - The main prize Golden Triga of the 11th edition of the Prague Quadrennial goes to Russia. At the proposal of the international jury, today in Prague, representatives of the winning exhibition received the award of this international competitive exhibition of scenography and theatrical architecture.
The eleven-member international jury, in which the Czech Republic was represented by composer and painter Vladimír Franz, evaluated the beautiful synthesis between the idea and its expression presented in the space of a single pavilion. It also decided on other awards.
In the competition of more than fifty national exhibitions, the Golden Medal for the best stage design was awarded to Joao Mendes Ribeiro from Portugal. The same award for best costume goes to Mexico, while Spain received an honorary mention for the best theatrical architecture, and Latvia was awarded the Golden Medal for the best exhibition in the student section Scenofest.
The Golden Medals for the best realization of a production were awarded to set designer and costume artist Johannes Schütz and director Jürgen Gosh for Shakespeare's Macbeth, which premiered at the Düsseldorfer Schauspielhaus in 2005, and to artist and director Brett Bailey for the project medEia by Oscar van Woensel, realized in the Republic of South Africa.
Golden Medals for the best use of theatrical technology went to Slovakia (Boris Kudlička) and Taiwan. The most outstanding talent in the student section Scenofest became Reinis Suhanovs from Latvia.
At the same time, the UNESCO award supporting the arts was presented, given to promising talents in the fields of visual arts, new technologies, performing arts, and also as support for their further artistic and visual creation. It was established in 1991 and has been awarded at the Prague Quadrennial since 1999. The five-member jury, which also included Jan Dušek, head of the Department of Scenography at the Prague Theatre Faculty, awarded it five times this year: to the Department of Theatre at the Faculty of Arts, University of Chile, to the Theatre Faculty of the Academy of Performing Arts in Prague, to the school exhibition of the Republic of Korea, and to students from Greece and Serbia.
Since 1992, the UNESCO award has been given every two years at prestigious international events - the Expo exhibition in Seville, the International Theatre Festival in Bogotá, the African Theatre Arts Market in Abidjan, and the Baltic House International Theatre Festival in St. Petersburg.
The organizers of the Prague Quadrennial, the largest showcase of its kind in the world, accredited around 5000 participants from sixty countries at the Industrial Palace in the Holešovice Exhibition Grounds. According to director Ondřej Černý, it was worthwhile that this year, for the first time, the project Praga Theatralis stepped outside the space of the Industrial Palace, where the quadrennial traditionally has its base, and addressed the widest public in the city center. This year's edition is also divided into three lines: the section of national exhibitions, the student section Scenofest, and the section of architecture and technology.
