How to Say "Props" in Spanish

utilería

/utileˈɾia/

The Spanish word for props (objects used by actors on a stage or in a movie) is utilería.

utilería refers to the physical objects or items used by actors to make a scene look realistic in theater or film productions.

How do you pronounce it?

/utileˈɾia/

In certain theatrical contexts, you might hear the term atrezzo, which is a direct borrowing from the Italian word 'attrezzo'.
The suffix '-ería' in utilería is the same one used to denote a shop or a place of business, such as in panadería (bakery) or librería (bookstore).
In professional Spanish film sets, the utilería is often split into utilería de mano, which are small items actors hold, and utilería de escena, which are larger furniture pieces.
