CLOUSEAU - Crescendo 2008
Concerts & Touring
For their concert series ‘Clouseau Crescendo’ in the Antwerp Sportpaleis the successful band Clouseau wanted to get really close to their fans. Problem: many of them were seated high up in the stands and therefore far away from the stage. Solution? A gigantic swivelling bridge (30m diameter!) to bring the 2 brothers Koen and Kris Wouters, singer and guitarist, as close as possible to their fans.
Challenges were to make the bridge strong enough, not too heavy and cumbersome and flexible enough to enable both performers to hover smoothly through the air of the Antwerp Sportpaleis including feather-soft landings. For that purpose, WI developed a new motion controlled tracking system that could accelerate and stop the bridge quickly or slowly in every possible direction allowing movements without jerking in between.
