Sewing of an velvet forecurtain
The construction and fitting of a claret velvet forecurtain, side panel curtain and theatre background curtain.
The challenge was to create a set which looks orderly with smaller performances of as few as 1-3 actors.
Sewing of an velvet forecurtain: Using the Gerriets Ascona 400 textile, we fitted one 5.7x3.8 meter forecurtain, two 3.5x3.8 meter side panel curtains and one 6x3.8 meter background curtain. Unusually, the side panel curtains (stage legs) can be drawn together, i.e. narrowed horizontally. This is so to allow for a proportionate set even with performances of few actors.
A solution to replace the existing printed posters or paper-based billboards was sought for Margaret Island Theatre, whereby the audience may be informed of both present and upcoming plays.

The set designer envisaged a continuous silver background for the performance KINGDOM of Badora Dance Company, for which a rather seldom used material was chosen.
