Light requirements
The light requirements for An Index of Metals are minimal. The
production has video throughout it duration and thus lights on stage are
limited.

applause light

Video requirements
All video equipment is brought by the
production:
-
projectors
and screens (3 screens of 4m x 3m) and the connection to the control booth and
all computer and digital video related material comes from Brussels
Special attention should be given to
the hanging point of the screens. The dimensions between screens and projection
is binding: should there be no existing fixation point at 7-8m (1) an extra
fixation point should be forseen (riging or bridge) or (2) the theater should
inform Ictus on the best position possible and its distance from the position
to put the projectors so that other lenses can be brought.

Comments:
á
In bigger
venue, extra speakers needed for hall coverage
á
The show is
complex, with special links between live sound and effects, NO equipment
substitutions will be accepted without the agreement of ictus
á
Should the local
promotor be unable to provide certain elements of the rider, than they can be
rented from ictus.

Placement
of the control booths
Sound, Light and Video control booths are
to be located in the hall. They should not be placed under a balcony. By no
means will it
be acceptable to place either of the three in a booth separated from the hall.
All three take up a total of minimum 7 meter in
length: block sufficient places for this.
We need an intercom/talkback system between the light
board and the backstage area and the stage.
