Thank You KZbin algorithm. I have no idea why you keep recommending me these but keep them coming.

Even understanding modular construction, air casters, and other engineering aspects that make this all possible, it's still *_WILD_* to see it actually _done._

[@dougaltolan3017]

Other engineering aspects like a floor strong enough to remain smooth enough for the air castors.... Stillettos are brutal!

Oooookaaay.... Having seen a few similar videos over the last couple of days, I still didn't expect whole sections of balconies to be moved around. That's how the Romans must have felt when the Colloseum was turned into an aquatic arena for sea battles.

It's 1am but the almighty algorithm thought I needed to see this... and it was correct!

I was all like “ok, this is kind of cool, but I’ve seen theatres that can change the layout of their seating… WAIT….. THE SIDE OF HOUSE BOOTHS CAN FUCKING MOVE?!?!?!?”

[@pgarrett27]

I remember so well, and to think those tower are between 12 - 14 ton each and only fourt people moving them into place!!

[@gralegath]

That was... just brilliant!

Some say you can't see the performers if they raise the audience section up to the same level of the stage. Here we can say that's rubbish. It can be done. All it takes is to drop the entire seating area down pretty low, shove a part of the front row seating under the stage, then replace those seats with a skirt, and then raise both the skirt and the rest of the main floor seating up to the same level of the stage. I wouldn't mind that at all. Then when it comes to concerts, you can adjust the seating area and then alert your audience on what days the main seating area would be at the same level as the stage or when the stage will be lowered. This kind of work needs to be applied to all theaters that offer stage shows.
