The backstage weekly

We´ve packed up much of the Les Mis set and started shipping it away. And we´ve had a major cleaning/tidying/washing-seance. But finally getting it out of the house, other chores were waiting.

The set for Perpleks was put up in only a day. Second day it was painted, and third day, the actors were rehearsing in it.

This is a rare photo: the two theatre-directors working “on the floor” as painters. Here they are painting the back of the set.

My carpenter-colleague, Bjarne, made and assembled the set. As he was putting it together, I was plastering and sanding the walls, prepping them for the paint.

Day two I painted them in 3 different shades of grey. The last thing the actors did before Christmas was a first run-through of the play. No costumes, but with some of the head-gear in place. The poor actor who´s playing the moose, needs to practice with his antlers, to learn how wide he actually is, not bumping into everything…

And talking of costumes… did anyone guess what this costume is?

No one dared to suggest anything, so I´m posting a new photo, now it´s getting closer to finished. Anyone?
