TEKNÉ is a work of theatre in which the final show is sought via its technical set-up and preparation. Taking as its starting point the world imagined in Thomas Bernhard’s ‘Der Theatermacher’, the show lays bare the experience of making theatre, where the process of bringing together the elements of the scene – lighting, props, script, sound, costumes, direction, performance – becomes itself the object of dialogue between the theatre-makers.

/SINOPSYS

Technician 1: “What has any of this here got to do with the fire and the subplot with the couple?”

Technician 2: “This looks more like a technical rider being set up.

This, in a nutshell, is it.”

TEKNÉ is a work of theatre in which a company does the set-up for a show titled “O Bananal”.
