EUROVISION 2026
TV
Saturday May 16th the world watched the grand finale in Vienna of what is still widely agreed upon as being one of the most spectacular show concepts in our industry, year after year. A great honour for us to have been called in once again (previous editions 2018 / 2023). This time we provided all automation to the show apart from the kinetic moving lights.
PEEK-A-BOO LIFT
Statement piece is the bridge in front of the superb screen, motioned by 2 of our TP06 elevators, travel 8m mainly used to provide backlights for the performer acts. Fabricated and engineered in our warehouses in Heist Op Den Berg Belgium straight to the Vienna stage together with 12 moving chain hoists for kabuki and delegation set pieces and 6 aerial performer winches for the interval act.
A complex machinery devouring many hours of hard and extremely focused labour but nothing but pure excitement when the lights flash on and everything works perfectly according to scheme. In perfect sync also with all the other technical and creative teams.
2 elevators TP06, 12 chain hoists & 6 aerial performer winches WIMOTION automated in perfect sync with light, sound and dynamic content.
