The exhibition Set Design in Three Acts symbolically unites the past and present in three ‘acts’: the museum, the living room, and the studio.
This is the new exhibition in the Allard Pierson Museum is. Only the chamber theatre of Baron van Slingelandt is already worthwhile a visit. Arne Hendriks and Josef Zappe build a replica of it. Regularly they show how these old theatre machineries work with all the strings and ropes in their replica.
On SHOWTECH 2025 (May 20-22) in Berlin, the leading international trade fair and congress for theatre and stage technology, students, teachers, technicians and industry experts explore cutting-edge solutions and shape the future of the theatre technology. BHT-team Bri Newesely and Stefan Gräbener met PQ head of communications Adam Dudek to develop possible strategies to connect CANON II with the next Prague Quadrennial 2027. One possibility could be to engage with physical models that represent scenography and theatrical architecture. What is important with these models is not necessarily a high level of detail, but above all the representation of the central ideas and the concept, the design.
