Strike a set

Question

In the theater when you remove a prop or furniture from a set you "strike the prop." At the end of a show, when you deconstruct everything and restore the stage to normal this entire process is also called strike. Can someone who is familiar with Spanish theater tell me the Spanish equivalent?

Answer 1

In our own dictionary, for the verb levantar, we find that verb used:
- "4. to strike (retirar) (campamento); to take down (tienda de campaña, tenderete)"(to strike camp, to strike a stall)

This seems to find support in El Diccionario RAE here ----> levantar in particular at item 6 as follows:
"6. tr. Recoger o quitar algo de donde está. Levantar la tienda, los manteles"., or maybe at item 12:
12. tr. Abandonar un sitio, llevándose lo que en él hay para trasladarlo a otro lugar.

Right or wrong for this context, it is still interesting. - 0074b507, Dec 6, 2011

Answer 2

I know you are looking for stage jargon here, but, in case you don't get any replies, I would consider using the verbs quitar (remove) or sacar (take out).

But hopefully some Spanish native familiar with Spanish stage jargon will chime in.

Keep in mind, though, that just because English has jargon for this, it doesn't follow that Spanish also has jargon for it.
