DIVISION 04 / ENTERTAINMENT & SHOW SYSTEMS

The show is live. The rig above it cannot fail.

Stage & rigging, architectural and event lighting, large-scale light shows, pyrotechnics and technical fit-out, specified, supplied, installed and serviced for theatres, opera houses, arenas and major events.

OVERVIEW

A venue's magic depends on machinery the audience must never notice.

Automated rigging flies scenery and performers overhead; lighting and pyrotechnics fire on cue, every night. The tolerance for failure in front of a live audience is zero, and the equipment is suspended above people.

Altivus brings rigging-grade engineering to venues: sourcing and integrating stage, lighting and show systems, commissioning them to performance and safety standards, and servicing them through the run.
