(*1979)
Stage designer
Dragan Stojčevski’s work is characterized by a complex approach to the artistic concept: in his interpretation, stage and costume design make a one compact unit, the visual part of the whole production, which often makes an impression of being the strongest element of the final form.
Apart from stage design for theatre, Stojčevski is engaged in creating installations, site-specific projects and art interventions in public space, usually in association with the Mamapapa group touring the Czech Republic and abroad. The locations for his site-specific projects have become various archeological sites, museums, abandoned industrial zones or rural environment: Pergamon Set (Pergamon Museum Berlin/ Bergama, Turkey 2010/15), The Room (National Museum in Pančevo, Serbia 2013), In S(P)ite of Fire (Beograd, Serbia 2005).
