Scenography: an ancient art, yet a modern job.

The idea of Theatre becomes something else age after age. It is very ancient, yet always new. When the idea of theather changes, the space of theatre changes with her. Sometimes this space is a closed area, sometimes a little, precious space like a jewerly box, sometimes a square in the slums.
