Honorary PQ 2015 Scenography Publication Award

The magazine PLOT is worthy of the award, first, due to the issues the publication addresses and for the relevance of its content, which encompasses the various areas of scenography while taking a more global interpretation of the term to include theatre, virtual reality, exhibition, art installation, and others, as well as associated fields and current technologies related to sound, light, and costume / image design. Second, but no less importantly, the bestowal of the award recognises that PLOT is a publication that is most in tune with current directions of theatre production and performance. We hope the award will act as a stimulus for the magazine's increased accessibility through publication (at least in part) in a world language (English), as well as an inspiration for other potential publishers in other languages and contexts.

PLOT is a German magazine dedicated to scenography that has already published 11 issues, each of which has, in turn, been devoted to a specific subject. PLOT magazine emphasizes scenography in which stage props, products or content act as a spatial experience enabling viewers and visitors to read, experience and interpret cultural and scientific content. It is, in fact, more than a magazine; PLOT is a platform, a project that promotes various events, including visits to museums, the hosting of conferences and organisation of events. Every printed issue is linked to other media, with links to additional information, films, etc.
