MUTE - string curtain décor
France
July 2021
Four artists on stage, an extra-wide string curtain backdrop and clever light effects turn this acrobatic show into a real spectacle.
Playful lights and projection on strings
A dynamic, contemporary circus act calls for a versatile backdrop. String curtains turned out to be the perfect choice! What looks like a sober setting at first, becomes a feast for the eyes when all the colourful spotlights switch on. The beautiful light reflection of the lightweight strings ensures a stunning show on stage.
With the full circus performance taking place both in front of and behind the fringes, they clearly demonstrate their versatility. The slightly see-through drape stirs the audience’s curiosity by showing silhouettes of the artists standing behind. But at the same time, the seamless string curtains serve as a great alternative projection surface that takes the act to a higher level. A fascinating play of lights and shadows!
The versatile drape adds to the performance
The acrobats run on and off stage through the curtain, adding a touch of drama to their act and grabbing the strings while they perform. This way, the flexible curtain even becomes part of the choreography. What a versatile décor!
Create a show one will remember. It all starts with the right choice of stage fabrics.
