Rekvisiitset

Rekvisiitset is a term originating from the performing arts, particularly theater and film, that refers to a collection of props used in a production. These props, or "rekvisiitta" in Finnish, are movable objects that actors interact with on stage or in front of the camera. A rekvisiitset can range from everyday items like cups and books to elaborate and custom-made pieces designed to fit a specific aesthetic or narrative requirement. The careful selection and arrangement of these items are crucial for establishing the setting, character, and mood of a scene. The prop master or prop department is responsible for sourcing, maintaining, and managing the rekvisiitset for a given production. The term can also be used more broadly to describe any set of items used for a specific purpose, even outside of artistic contexts, implying a curated collection for a particular function.
