This year we put forward an editorial idea with several New York production designers. The Scenographer will embark on an "overseas journey" to discover young directors, set and costume designers who are among the most representative of the Broadway theatre scene. We will seek to explore the vitality and originality of theatre in the United States, a multicultural galaxy composed of a diversity of ethnic influences. The programme comprises six monographs of 130 pages each. All texts are edited by authoritative American theatre critics. Hundreds of theatre productions, all the works introduced and explained by the designers themselves, plus contributions from directors, playwrights, costume designers and lighting artists.

Leslie Travers, an award-winning international Set and Costume Designer, and creator of some of the most distinctive stage designs in opera, musicals, drama and dance in our generation. Renowned for his pure poetic landscapes, sculptural grandeur, characteristic colour palettes to opulent costumes, there are significant ingenious devices, seamless scene changes, a very selective process of materials where everything has a purpose or story using scenography as a catalyst to create extraordinary theatrical spatial experiences.
