A glimpse behind the scenes
Backstage, an exhibition of the Dutch Theatre Institute is touring at host theatres across The Netherlands. Backstage provides a glimpse behind the scenes of Dutch theatre.
Putting on a theatre production involves many different branches of expertise. The exhibition presents six of them: direction, script, acting, scenery, costumes, sound & lighting. The emphasis is on stage plays, but other theatre forms such as opera, mime and dance also feature in the exhibition.
Actor or Director
In one of the rooms you’ll get a brief introduction to the six aspects, whereby a number of Dutch theatre-makers explain what they find so fascinating about their work. In the other room, you can see exactly what each aspect involves, how it works and how it has evolved. You can also have a go yourself. And at the end of the exhibition, you can give your own answer to the question: What is theatre?
