TERHAL BY DRAGONE

The project required the creation of movable scenic props that blended authentic design with performance-ready functionality, enabling the seamless execution of complex acrobatic performances.

Scenic Fabrication for an Immersive Show Experience

• Authentic Market Carts: Designed and built a range of Saudi street market carts engineered to double as parkour obstacles. Each cart was fabricated to meet the performers' rigorous safety and mobility requirements while maintaining an authentic aesthetic.
• Custom Land-Abra: Produced a fully functional, traditional Arabian boat mounted on a buggy cart system. The self-powered structure featured a practical steering tiller and a rustic scenic finish, seamlessly blending cultural authenticity with modern engineering.
• Collaborative Engineering and Finishing: Combined the expertise of engineering, fabrication, and scenic finishing teams to deliver robust and visually captivating props that could withstand the demands of a live performance.
• Adaptations for Performance: Addressed challenges during rehearsals by adjusting caster wheels with manual brakes to handle uneven, sand-like flooring and ensuring the buggy boat’s brake system functioned smoothly for precise stage maneuvering.

​The Terhal project showcased Evolution Scenic’s commitment to integrating creativity, engineering, and practicality, delivering props that elevated the performance and immersed audiences in the magic of the show.
