Advanced Wagons roll at ABTT

Details: 14 March 2016

A scene from the new Copenhagen Opera House production of <I>Kafka's Trial</I>, using eight separate Visual Act Advanced wagons, choreographed as an integral part of the show.

Hall Stage will host Swedish company Visual Act at next week's ABTT show in London. Visual Act will demonstrate its Advanced Wagon system, which allows for cable-free horizontal movement of any type of stage element. The wagons use a laser locational system to position loads of up to 600kg - to millimetre accuracy - without any tracks or guides on the stage.

Visual Act recently provided all the stage & flying automation equipment for the Eurovision Song Contest finals in Kiev. The staging for the event, one of the most advanced ever, included 46 separate moving components. VA control was used to create a range of stage configurations and dynamic scene changes during each act.
