The 2000-seat Theatre of Dreams was custom built to accommodate the new Dragone aqua-acrobatic spectacular that is conducted in and around a liquid stage. Stage Technologies was brought on board to design, supply and install a 122-axis automation system, controlled by a powerful combination of 2 fixed Acrobat ∙G6 desks, 2 portable Nomad desks, and 4 handheld Solo controllers.
In addition, equipment was provided for Dragone’s rehearsals at Alfacam studios in Lint, Belgium. The rehearsal studio contains tracks and trolleys and point hoists, mimicking the main system’s functionality and allowing the automation programmers to rehearse and programme the show act by act, both with real world movements and also in an offline, virtual, 3-D configuration. The studio control system also used six local control joysticks.
