DE­SCRIP­TION OF THE EXHI­BI­TION

We invite you to embark on a journey through two decades of CHOREA Theatre's history. The exhibition is dedicated to performances, theatrical activities, and a wide range of non-theatrical events, both social and educational. Visitors will be able to see both past and present theatre documentation, accompanied by set design elements and installations. During the exhibition, participants will be transported into different worlds where they will be able to mark their presence, or their moment of encounter with CHOREA Theatre. The exhibition will showcase the collective efforts of the "innumerable group of artists" as well as the individual paths of the group's members.
