A stage for thrills and suspense: the Festhalle at Messe Frankfurt became the venue for a special event in December – the thriller tour by bestselling author Sebastian Fitzek. To offer the audience an unforgettable experience, Mott Mobile Systems has installed an extraordinary circular stage.
Challenge: stability and flexibility combined
For the realisation in the Festhalle at Messe Frankfurt, known for its impressive architecture and a capacity of over 13,000 visitors, the stage had to meet special requirements. Mott Mobile Systems mastered this task with the utmost precision:
- 52 Praktikus Light stage elements in special dimensions provided the base area of the circular stage.
- 84 Justo scaffold legs with castors made the stage not only stable, but also mobile and flexible in terms of assembly
- Two Vario staircases with railings ensured safe access for the artists and team.
- Every detail was statically tested and documented to the highest standards.
The Festhalle at Messe Frankfurt, known for its historic domed construction and spacious area, presented the team from Mott Mobile Systems with additional logistical challenges. The construction of the circular stage had to be perfectly integrated into the architecture without detracting from the character of the hall. This is where the expertise of Mott Mobile Systems came into its own: with precise planning and efficient use of materials, the stage could be customised to fit in with the surroundings.
The construction of the circular stage for Sebastian Fitzek’s Thriller Tour in the Festhalle Frankfurt impressively demonstrates how customised stage technology contributes to an unforgettable event. The combination of Praktikus Light stage elements, Justo scaffolding legs and Vario stairs creates a stage that is not only functional but also aesthetically pleasing. With this construction, Mott Mobile Systems has created the perfect stage for one of the most exciting authors of our time.
We would like to thank the media_resource_group and fitzekontour for allowing us to experience how our stages become the “big picture”. What remains is the feeling of being part of a great project that combines both technology and creativity.
