Terms of participation
Posters created in the period April 30, 2007 – April 30, 2010 are eligible for the Triennial.
Categories
1.Printed posters for drama theatre, opera, ballet, operetta, musical, circus, puppet theatre, pantomime, concerts, festivals, variety shows, etc.
2. Posters on specific themes:
GOGOL AND THE STAGE
The theme is open for posters created for the dramaturgical work and stage productions of works by the great writer Nikolai Vasilievich Gogol (1809–1852), as well as such inspired by his texts.
THE THEATRE - THAT’S ME
The theme burlesques the famous phrase of Louis XIV, “The State, that’s me,” and at the same time interprets Shakespeare’s celebrated phrase “Life is a stage and we are all actors.” (“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players. They have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts…” William Shakespeare, As You Like It)
Every show has authors, participants and spectators. What are we: participants, performers or onlookers? What is our daily play; what is the stage where the action takes place, and what is the theatre where our life passes? The questions suggested by the theme are many, and the answers even more and often contradictory...
In Category 2 can participate printed stage posters or originals created especially for the occasion.
No compulsory text.
