TECH-RIDER
The grid is an aluminum frame (6x4 meters), which is attached to the ceiling at 6 points with tie-down straps. There should be 2.5 (min.) to 3 meters (max.) distance from the ground to the upper part of the grid. Both aluminum frame and tie-down straps are provided. 35 ribbons run over the scaffold and are lowered during the performance (see image above).
One person can set up the structure in approx. 2 hours, two people in about 1 hour. Taking down the grid takes about 1 hour. For smaller stages the grid can be halved to 4 meters wide, 3 meters deep (or 3 meters wide and 4 meters deep).

ABOUT
PHILIPP OBERLOHR studied theology and philosophy in Innsbruck (Austria) and physical theatre and illusions in London (U.K.) Since 2010 Oberlohr is touring through Europe with his experiential shows that toy with the perception of the audience. He has performed in theatres, museums, cemeteries and a secret masonic temple in the heart of London. ”Das Spiel” has gained a cult-following in Europe and is now going overseas.
Oberlohr is combining unusual disciplines always with the focus on strengthening the experiential character of his shows. Accidentally he apparently started a “trend towards modern illusionism” (Sandra Schäfer, Vienna).
