The first framed Backdrop made of ASC - Sceno digital printing muslin, with flat making, 15 x h 7.5 m, in the previous photo during the lighting tests and here during the show, refers to the illustrations of the Encyclopédie, one of the symbols of the Enlightenment of which the character of Candide is a part.The stage planking ...
... is covered with a 16 x h 14 m TSR - Silgraf digital printing floor.The printing of the floor echoes the background colour and the grid of the graph paper that are on the backdrops too.
The second framed Backdrop made of ASC - Sceno digital printing, 15 x h 8 m, during the lighting tests ...
... and during the show ...
... where the Backdrop was also used as a support for projections, for example to project the blue caption ''Mt. Rushmore''.The Backdrops reserved several surprises ...
... being equipped with almost invisible doors and hatches.Here for example, two characters appear through the open windows in correspondence of the states Wyoming and Arizona.
