This July, our scenography programme “What is Stage: Space as Poetry” opens with a public seminar introducing the work of German stage designer, costume designer and art educator Anna Viebrock. Led by theatre director and programme curator Edward Lam, the seminar explores the cultural significance of a selection of Viebrock’s works.
Since the 1990s, Anna Viebrock has reimagined the possibilities of set design for opera and theatre, transforming performance spaces in astonishing and lyrical ways. Working closely with acclaimed directors, such Jossi Wieler and long-term collaborator Christoph Marthaler, Viebrock has reinterpreted traditional concepts of stage, space and design with her distinct and innovative avant-garde aesthetic.
This September, Anna Viebrock also joins us at Freespace to lead a five-day artist workshop.
The seminar is free and open to theatre professionals and those with an interest in contemporary theatre.
Speaker: Edward Lam (Artistic Director, Edward Lam Dance Theatre)
