Written by Nikolai Izvekov (1886–1942), a pioneer in the scientific study of theater production, this first volume focuses exclusively on stage architecture. Izvekov, who organized the Soviet Union's first theater laboratory in 1923, approachs the stage not merely as a decorative space, but as a complex technical machine designed to facilitate the artistic goals of a performance.\u003cbr\u003eThe book provides an exhaustive analysis of the evolution and mechanics of the stage. Izvekov details the transition from traditional theatrical spaces to modern, technologically-driven environments. Key topics include the geometry of sightlines, the mechanics of revolving stages, trap doors, and the structural requirements of stage fly systems. The author places a heavy emphasis on how technical means serve the creative intent of the director and set designer, bridging the gap between engineering and art.\u003cbr\u003eRichly illustrated, the volume contains a wealth of photographs, blueprints, and schemes showcasing Soviet and European stage innovations of the early 20th century. The elegant binding by L. Epple reflects the high aesthetic standards of the mid-1930s GIKHL editions. Published during the zenith of Soviet avant-garde and monumental theater, Izvekov's work serves as a vital record of the technical capabilities that supported the productions of Meyerhold, Tairov, and Vakhtangov.\u003cbr\u003eFor theater historians, architects, scenographers, and collectors of early Soviet technical literature, this 1935 edition is an essential resource. It remains one of the most comprehensive accounts of theater architecture from the era when the Soviet stage was considered among the most innovative in the world.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Stanza Rare Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43963161608234,"sku":"EB-306303032219","price":90.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0701\/6359\/5306\/files\/57_84672807-1d88-40fe-bbd7-4ff3b8c162e4.jpg?v=1768162071","url":"https:\/\/stanzararebooks.com\/products\/theatre-stage-architecture-scene-vol-i-1935-%d0%b8%d0%b7%d0%b2%d0%b5%d0%ba%d0%be%d0%b2-%d1%81%d1%86%d0%b5%d0%bd%d0%b0-%d0%b0%d1%80%d1%85%d0%b8%d1%82%d0%b5%d0%ba%d1%82%d1%83%d1%80%d0%b0-%d1%81%d1%86%d0%b5%d0%bd%d1%8b-%d1%82-1","provider":"Stanza Rare Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
