“The Protagonist” (Burgtheater Table), designed by Ulrike Nachbargauer (UNA plant),
Austria 2015, brass legs, the top composed of vintage pitch pine slats, the engraved brass inscribed: “…Wohl wert, dass sich ein Fürst sein unterwinde! Wo habt Ihr dessengleichen schon gesehn?…” (Well worth that a prince bow to it! Where have you seen the like?), a quote from “King Ottokar, His Rise and Fall”, with signatures of the Burgtheater actors Ewald Balser, Attila Hörbiger, Tobias Moretti, and Michael Maertens, height 75 cm, 220 x 90 cm. (DRAX)
Table 01.
A unique specimen.
Sold for the benefit of the “Junge Burg”.
When the Burgtheater’s stage floor was exchanged for a new one in 2011, the old floorboards, dating from 1955, were kept in storage. Some of them have now been used for the present table, complemented by a brass plaque. It bears an engraved quote from Franz Grillparzer’s play “King Ottokar, His Rise and Fall”, which was performed on the then-new stage on the occasion of the Burgtheater’s reopening in 1955. Attila Hörbiger played the leading role in 1955, Michael Maertens in the 2005 production.
