For the post-war re-opening of the Burgtheater, in 1955 a new stage floor was put in. For 56 years the greatest actors in the German language had trodden these boards; on them they had endured stage fright, they had loved, they had fought – theatre history was written into them. After the renovation of the stage floor in 2011 the designer Ulrike Nachbargauer kept the historic boards and made them into a unique table. This – THE PROTAGONIST – forms the foundation of her idea of having pieces from the theatre live on in a new environment and of turning stage properties of high-quality craftsmanship into “stage treasures”.
