Theatre engineering solutions
Curtain track systems
The curtain and its movement are some of the defining elements of performances!
What kind of movement would be ideal for You?
Many types of systems are used in theatre that can be operated manually or mechanically.
- Bayreuth (Wagner)
- Greek
- Cortina
- Cloud
- Kabuki
- Brecht
The different types of transport require different technical solutions, rail systems and mechanisms, for which you can find every necessary product within our range.
Mechanical curtain track systems qualify as unique machines
The construction of these machines demands complex mechanical engineering and control engineering. We conduct an accurate demand analysis and on-site assessment before planning.
The planning and implementation period of mechanical curtain track systems can be 3-8 months (depending on their complexity).
Mechanically tracked curtains are operated by mechanical drive units and their respective control electronics.
The control of mechanically tracked curtains can be:
- Non-programmed
- Programmed (adjustable speed)
The mechanically drawn curtains will be delivered with a documentation confirming all the strictest planning, production and installation regulations have been followed, and an official certificate will be attached as well.
Due to the numerous variations in curtain track systems no universally valid technical information can be provided.
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.
