Refunction © Goethe-Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan

Refunction is a performance series by Goethe Institut / Max Mueller Bhavan New Delhi 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.

Over the past four years Refunction has supported and hosted six projects by theatre artists and practitioners from across the country. In 2020 Refunction responded to the challenges to performance-making in this present time by reimagining the programme to support work that actively and imaginatively engaged with the question of what it is to produce and present dramatic work digitally.

This year Refunction invites artists and groups to submit proposals for both physical (offline) and digital (online) performance projects. Our programme continues to encourage performers and theatre makers to imagine projects that will explore the movement and tension between material, technique and function. We are excited to support works that challenge and propose rituals, modes and mediums of performance in our present contexts.
