THE MASTER & MARGARITA (Numen for Use)

(assistant scenographer, 2021)





Working again for multimedia artist trio Numen for Use, I assisted Sven Jonke in the design and production of the whole of the scenograpy for the play The Master and Margarita at the National Theatre in Hungary. (Director: Aleksandar Popovski)





“The scenes are staged largely literally, against the backdrop of the all-encompassing rope grid. The grid acts as the metaphorical domain of the regime and its structural violence and absurdity. Within the calm and abstract territory of mutually othogonal lines, a variety of setups, objects and characters appear and disappear with mind-boggling velocity. Ocasionally there is magic. The cresscendo is achieved in the final scene of the performance when Woland destroys the grid, demonstrating once again the cosmic irrelevance of all systems and ideologies.” (Numen for Use)
