Biographical / Historical note:Adolphe Appia was born on September 1, 1862 in Geneva, Switzerland. Regarded as the father of modern stage lighting and design, his reforms of stage design emphasized the significance of time and space, the relation of stage and auditorium, and the contrast of light and shadow. Appia's major works include La Mise en scène du drame Wagnérien (1895), Die Musik und die Inszenierung (1899), and L'Oeuvre d'art vivant (1921). Appia died in Nyon, Switzerland on February 29, 1928.
