Rave Rebels stage concept
Once again we took part in the largest indoor-rave in Belgium — Rave Rebels. This time we have transformed the 6300 м² ING Arena into a spaceship. We decided to create a large, symmetrical structure that could fill the entire space and interact more deeply with the venue’s architecture.
The setup idea came from the venue itself — the pipes and metal structures under the ceiling reminded us of a scene from a sci-fi movie. We drew inspiration from the shape of spaceships in culture and cinema — from retro-futurism to contemporary films. That’s how a large geometric structure integrated into the arena’s architecture appeared on stage.
The ship was made up of 21 sections — 20 outer segments and one central block. 12 kinetic panels moved using a system of winches.
Four smoke machines were installed inside the ship, filling the volume with haze so that light could shine through the gaps. In total, about 600 lighting fixtures were used. Inside, there was a multi-level structure of trusses and rigging, with numerous suspensions and chains.
