MATERIAL FOR THEATRES

Get-in data

• Show length: 70 minutes
• Get-in time: 8-9 hours
• Get-out time: 2 hours
• Company crew: 4 people

The venue must provide the crew required for the get-in and assistance during rehearsals and the performance. If any requirement cannot be met, please contact the company.

Stage, machinery and masking

• Optimal dimensions: 10 m wide × 8 m deep × 8 m minimum height to rigging points (minimum 8 × 6 m)
• Wings: 2 metres
• Black box: yes, straight Italian masking with legs and no backdrop. The company replaces the backdrop with its own plastics
• Flat, level floor covered with linoleum and without rake. Acceptable without linoleum if the surface is perfectly smooth and seamless
• Set: wooden shelving, plaster figures and plaster-workshop props
• Essential: rigging points for aerial equipment (minimum three: trapeze, rope and silks) and a lifting platform for the get-in

Haze particles are used during rehearsals and the show (provided by the company).

Lighting

• Full 54-channel design; an adapted lighting plot is sent in advance
• 32 × 1 kW fresnels
• 10 × 25-50º profiles and 1 × 15-30º profile
• 2 × PAR 64 CP62 and 11 × 1 kW cyc lights (backdrop)
• 3 profiles or fresnels in the front gallery for general light
• 12 × RGB LED PARs (to be confirmed)
• 2 electrified bars on stage and 8 × 3 m boom towers
• The company brings its GrandMA 3 lighting desk, haze machine and fan

Alternative for non-conventional venues: 45 RGBW LED wash/PARs of 350 W, 10 × 600 W LED spots with 40º zoom, 11 LED strobes, 8 × 4 m truss totems and 2 × 10 m flown trusses. Lighting and sound control must be at the rear of the stalls or in a centred box, never in a closed booth (one technician operates both desks).

Sound and video

• P.A. system with pressure and coverage suited to the venue across the full audible spectrum
• Double side-fill system in the first and third booms, behind the boom towers, with a shared stereo send
• The company brings a MacBook Pro with QLab and an audio interface, sending a stereo signal to the desk (XLR or jack)
• The show has no video projection or cameras

Rigging

• Six rigging points on beams or truss rated for dynamic loads
• 1 double trapeze: 1.20 m between 2 fixed points; minimum height to floor 8 m
• 3 corde lisse on 3 fixed points, usually rigged from the grid
• 2 fixed points for the motor's return pulleys
• Variable-speed flying-rated motor anchored to the stage floor or counterweighted with at least 350 kg
• Trapeze: if the grid does not allow it, 2 trusses are rigged gallery-to-gallery with a central pick-up, or two bilite bars joined with couplers and guyed to the galleries

Rigging aerial equipment requires a technical study before the get-in. If the venue cannot meet these conditions, contact the company to adapt the rigging.

Dressing rooms and other needs

• Dressing rooms for 12 people, equipped, clean and with bathroom
• Mineral water during get-in, get-out and performance
• Free room for warm-up and at least two and a half hours on stage for preparation
• Parking space for the get-in vans

Technical crew

• Provided by the company: 1 lighting and sound technician + 2 get-in/get-out crew
• Provided by the venue: 1 sound and lighting technician, 1 rigging technician and front-of-house staff
