P. Balan - new approaches and tendencies of organizing the scenic space in the 1990s

Summary/Abstract: The emergence of new transformative processes of creating theatrical decor and design establishes a new stage in the development of the scenographic art in the Republic of Moldova. These changes could not fail to influence the artistry of both experienced visual artists and young scenic painters. The remarkable personality of the visual artist Petru Balan, who fascinates with his creativity and artistic imagination, stands out among them. In the 1990s P. Balan conceived the scenography for over 70 shows staged both in Moldovan theaters and abroad. This is the period that brings him the well-deserved recognition and appreciation in the theatrical and decorative art of Moldova. As a scenographer, he manifests an elevated visual culture through which he fructifies the achievements of the scenic design as a performance component of the show. The artist accomplishes significant changes in the organization of the scenic space by applying pictorial means and subordinating the spatial-volumetric coordinates. Thus, he successfully organizes the scenic frame, establishing the integrity of the visual image. P. Balan manages to achieve a high affective expressiveness due to combining décors and authentic scenic action. He strives, through the art of organizing the décors, for an organic fusion of the show framework with methods of expressive approach. Further, the role of materials and craft increases significantly towards a new qualitative principle of application.
