EDITORS COMMENTS
This photograph captures a page from the directing book for The Insect Comedy, a renowned play performed at the National Theatre in Prague in 1922. The autograph of Karel Hugo Hilar, one of the directors of the play, adorns this historical artifact. The image showcases a glimpse into the creative process behind this iconic production. On the page, we see sketches and study drawings meticulously crafted by a skilled draughtsman. These illustrations serve as visual aids for set designers and artists to bring the insect-filled world of the play to life. The intricate details within these sketches highlight an artist's dedication to capturing every aspect of nature's beauty. From delicate insects to wild animals, each drawing exudes realism and artistic flair. Words inscribed alongside these illustrations provide insight into scene descriptions and stage directions that guided actors during performances. This directing book acted as both a practical tool for theater professionals and an invaluable piece of art itself. This photograph transports us back to early twentieth-century Bohemia, where creativity flourished amidst vibrant cultural scenes like those found in Prague. It serves as a testament to how theater can transcend time, allowing future generations to appreciate its enduring beauty. Lubomir Synek's masterful capture immortalizes this significant piece of theatrical history while inviting viewers on a journey through time and imagination.
