2019 | Uni.T UdK Berlin | Stage and Costume design

A theater evening by the Stage Design Class of the University of the Arts

The stage design class lets the room speak and characters tell their associative stories in a joint experimental theater evening. The project, performed in the UdK’s own theater “UNI.T” designed by Paul Baumgarten invites the audience to experience the space outside of theater conventions. The six-member team, made up of students from the stage design class, remeasures the boundaries of the theater space, lighting it from a wide variety of perspectives and incorporating it as an active co-player or antagonist: the functional architecture of the theater building is reinterpreted as a structure that is able to articulate its own character and possesses the gift of translating its attitude into action and play. What if it had a life of its own? All of its visitors, who arrive and meet by chance, remain strangers, unlike the actors, whose natural home is the stage.
