Stage Technologies Swing Britney to ‘The Zone
Ever the entertainer, Britney has put on a real show for the fans with an extravagant set based around the theory of the mysterious Onyx stone.The theme of the show was is a hotel on the edge of reality - the Onyx hotel - that Ms. Spears checks into. A magical “wonderland of the subconscious” where, according to a creepy character that plays the M.C., your ''darkest side'' can be explored, with ''titillation'' guaranteed.
Stage Technologies, in conjunction with Ocean State Rigging and The Rigging Partnership, helped create the scenic wow factor for the show, with Stage Technologies providing an automation system to fly Ms. Spears, moving her backwards and forwards over the stage in a swing. This has to be the staging highlight of the show, with Britney sitting at the crest of an immense, M-shaped blue ribbon and performers twirling in fabric by her side. To create this scene entitled the ‘Shadow’, Stage Technologies provided The Rigging Partnership with four BigTow winches and an Acrobat control console. No strangers to flying performers, Stage Technologies and The Rigging Partnership have previously worked on Westlife’s World of Our Own and Greatest Hits tours and Kylie Minogue’s recent album launch.
The tour finishes its America/Canada leg at the beginning of April and is due to reach the UK, playing at London’s Wembley Arena, on the 27th April.
