This Critical Theatre Lexicon was the winning design in a competition initiated by the Flemish Theatre Institute and directed by Geert Opsomer (at the moment director of Nieuwpoorttheater, Ghent). It’s a series of portraits of major dramatic artists of the twentieth century. These portraits are commissioned by the Flemisch Theatre Institute and the four universities: U.I.Antwerp, University of Ghent, K.U.Leuven and V.U.Brussels.
The lexicon is conceived as a series of cahiers with green covers and collected in a portfolio. The English and French versions , with grey covers, were sold as single copies.
