About us
ShowTex is a worldwide leader in inventing, manufacturing and installing innovative flame retardant fabrics, tracks and motion control systems for achieving the creative vision of theatre, event and entertainment professionals.
Through innovative use of transparent scrims and mesmerising projections, "Perception of Mount Laojun" creates a theatre performance that transports audiences from their seats to the sacred heights of the Taoist sanctuary.
Standing over 2,000 metres above sea level, Mount Laojun has long inspired awe with its mystical atmosphere. Now, this breathtaking setting comes to life through an innovative combination of lightweight theatre scrims and immersive projections, creating a mesmerising theatrical experience.
The performance unfolds within a remarkable dual-layer scrim setup. The honeycomb structure of the flame-retardant tulle ensures both safety and precise image reproduction, while its see-through nature allows for stunning optical illusions.
Projected visuals of mountain vistas, flowing mist, and koi fish seamlessly blend with the performers' movements, drawing audiences into a marvellous world that captures the essence of Dao.
Two concentric scrim structures work in tandem to create an immersive 360-degree viewing experience. The highly transparent mesh fabric disappears completely when unlit, only to transform into a realistic projection surface that brings ancient stories to life.
