I’m researching renaissance stage design for a project, and I found a translation of a treatise on stage machinery written by Sebastian Serlio in the early 16th century.

I am in love, the renaissance was wild guys

If people reenact battles, can we please reenact theatrical productions?

And my favorite:

I want to know the story behind that one! Who was the idiot stagehand in 1562 who made Serlio feel the need to include that?

Serlio is wondering who are all these people

Serlio was worried, more than worried. He knew Silia stayed at Karnesh house or at Haral’s house for days sometimes, but usually she came home when she said she would be. She had promised that a long ago, like almost over a month to come and visit and she never came. 

So Serlio went to check on Karnesh apartment, to see if her sister just forgot to announce she had moved there. To his luck Karnesh was home.

“Have you seen my sister ? Did she move in with you and forgot to tell me?”

Tilia: Serlio is late from school ...

Haral: Ah that is not so dangerous I skipped  a few hours of it myself. 

Tilia :*a bit of judging and you’re not helping here look at her husband* 

Silia: Ready for school brother? 

Tilia: You too...*stops when Haral hugs her* 

Silia: Let’s get going before they get too sweet

scenography

The term scenography is of Greek origin (skēnē, meaning 'stage or scene building';  grapho, meaning 'to describe') originally detailed within Aristotle's Poetics as 'skenographia'. Nevertheless, within continental Europe, the term has been closely aligned with the professional practice of scénographie and is synonymous with the English-language term 'theatre design'.
