Over 40,000 visitors from all over the world are expected to attend, making Prague the centre of the performance world for those very special 11 days, from June 16-26, 2011.
   Be sure not to miss the heart of the Prague Quadrennial, the traditional International Competitive Exhibition, over 10,000 m2 of exposition space presenting the most exciting aspects of performance from over 60 countries and regions.", http://www.pq.cz/en/for-visitors 

   The UK chose to focus on the theme of Transformation & Revelation.
Peter Farley, designer of the exhibition/ curator of the SBTD (Society of British Theatre Designers) asks:
"How do UK designers transform their ideas into reality? How do they use the transformation of structures and costumes to take us on a visual journey? What is the alchemy between the designers and their collaborators involved in this progression? We concluded that, working from the premise that the function of design is not merely to illustrate the performed text, music or movement, but to provide a further layer of visual narrative, it is not only the job of the director but also that of the designer to make us ask, “What am I going to see next? What will be revealed?” It is through this process of constant visual and aural Transformation and Revelation that we experience a work of theatre.
[...]
The exhibitors from the UK were selected from over two hundred professional designers who exhibited their work in the Society of British Theatre Designers’ National Exhibition in Cardiff, UK in March/April this year."


UK Exhibiting Artists: Es Devlin, Anthony Gormley, Richard Hudson, Sophie Jump, John F Macfarlane, Garance Marneur, Conor Murphy, Pippa Nissen, Michael Pavelka, Kathrine Sandys, Hansjorg Schmidt, Jamie Vartan and Naomi Wilkinson.
