Is the National Theatre in Prague ‘just’ a display case for domestic culture, or is it also a symbol of Czech architecture? And how has the national awareness of Poles, Hungarians, Slovenians, Slovaks, and Russians been reflected in the past two centuries in their main theatre buildings? These and other questions are raised by the major exhibition project ‘Beyond Everydayness’, which will be welcomed this year and next year in metropolises throughout Europe and will present around seventy different theatre buildings. The exhibition has been created as part of the multi-year project TACE (Theatre Architecture in Central Europe) and its curator is the architect Igor Kovačevič and his team.
