The first of its kind in Sweden, a CABLEnet tensioned wire grid system has been installed by Slingco into the main auditorium at the Helsingborg Theatre.
Part of a major refurbishment programme at the theatre, access was needed to over-stage and front of house lighting and rigging positions in the roof. The installed grid, which measures 23m at its widest point and 9.5m deep, maintains the elliptical shape of the roof void as it curves round to match the shape of the auditorium.
The CABLEnet system is created by weaving and tensioning high tensile steel cable within a frame, which is then hoisted to the required level in the theatre or concert hall to create a safe 'virtual floor'® for lighting, audio, AV technicians and riggers. A key benefit is that the system doesn't cast shadows from lighting rigs positioned above it.
Helsingborg was the first town in Sweden to open a municipal theatre in 1921. Originally housed in a theatre built in 1877, its current building opened in 1976 with the theatre being one of the leading producing and receiving houses in the country.
Following the success of the project, Slingco is already engaged in its second Swedish CABLEnet installation - at Stockholm University Dance Theatre. This is scheduled to complete in the Spring.
