Collecting Theatre
After the final curtain call and one last round of applause, everything is gone, the performance a mere memory. Or is it? Since 1925, the Dutch Theatre Collection has collected what is left behind: thousands of design sketches, programmes, recordings, texts, costumes, letters, and much more. At the Allard Pierson – The Collections of the University of Amsterdam, this extensive theatre history – with objects ranging from drama to dance, from puppetry to musicals – is preserved for posterity.
