Technical Challenges
Gauze Tower
During the recent production of "Gilgamesh" there were few technical challenges that we had to overcome. The main challenge was to rig a gauze tower that hugged the set, could be rigged simply, had a sharp crease down the corner and could be flown live. We also had to come up with a way of rigging a bull so that it could be safely rigged, yet easily detached during the show by performers.
