Stage backdrop for the cycle meeting of a pharmaceutical laboratory, documented during the build. The piece covers the full stage frontage and acts as the backdrop to the speaking slots and the presentation area. Unical Graphic took on the production of the graphic substrate and its installation in the room, coordinated with the lighting and AV crews.

The challenge

A stage backdrop goes in during the same time window as the lighting, the sound and the stage riser, in a shared working space and to a fixed deadline. Add to that a wide surface that has to end up taut and crease-free, because any fold shows the moment the lights come up.

Our solution

The backdrop was conceived as a modular structure of aluminium frames dressed with silicone-edge textile, which arrives folded, weighs little and goes up without heavy tools. The modules were aligned with butt joints over a prior set-out of the stage frontage, so the graphics run on with no visible break. The textile was tensioned in sections, working around the perimeter until the surface was flat, with margin left at the bottom to adjust the meeting with the riser.
