Playlist

Don't know it, never heard of it, what's that supposed to be? We have created a playlist for you with selected hits from our current program. 

How do you do that, Mr. Bogatu?

«Impossible» doesn’t exist in our vocabulary! And yet, before the big show, there are often tougher technical nuts to crack. Fire and water, snow and sand, ships and carriages – we’ve had it all on stage. Sounds easy? Not quite. In our new mini-series «How do you do it, Mr. Bogatu?», we dive into the tricks and secrets of the theatre workshops and stage technology together with our Technical Director Sebastian Bogatu. Kicking off with Case 1: «The bottomless parquet floor».
