Refunction

Refunction is a performance series inspired by one of the core principles of Bertolt Brecht’s theatre – Umfunktionierung (refunctioning), in which the composition of a new work is in the movement and tension between material, technique and function. Refunction is an initiative by Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan New Delhi. The grantees for Refunction 2022 have been selected and the next edition will be published in early 2023.

In response to the challenges to performance-making in this present time, Refunction 2020-2021 has been reimagined to support work that actively and imaginatively engages with the question of what it is to produce and present dramatic work digitally.

In early 2018 applications were invited for Refunction, a programme that aspires to encourage independent theatre artists and groups to create and develop new work, and offer them the space to present it at one of the city’s most vibrant cultural hubs. The programme for Refunction was decided through an open-call application process following which, a jury selected the final projects.
