The professional stagehands.de team presented themselves in a record-breaking fashion whilst working in Berlin’s Olympic stadium on 12th July 2008 by creating the perfect platform in advance. A week before the actual event nine trucks loaded with 110 flooring tiles in total moved into the Olympic stadium where 8200 square metres of football pitch was to be transformed into a concert hall. The occasion: the biggest comedy show on earth with an extraordinary premiere. Mario Barth, the jokster and bard presented “Men are primitive, but happy!“, a set which had already filled the biggest halls in the country, and reached its highest point up to date in Berlin in front of a sold out house of 70.000.
10 to 24 PAXs were needed every day to manage this gigantic task and to build strong flooring. This was real blood, sweat and tears work for the professional stagehands. They were on site and in action every day for a whole week and the results show it was worth all the effort. The work was completed on time and to the great satisfaction of all involved.. Mario Barth was happy too, because now the greatest comedy show on earth, could begin. Only recently he’d let the magazine “TV-Spielfilm“ in on a secret, that “he’d better get himself into a stadium so he could perform some therapy for the masses“. Now the time had finally come, but that he’d be giving a “consultation“ for thousands of patients at once was surely new territory for the popular comedian.
This type of mission is no new territory for our stagehands. Alongside working for numerous events and trade fairs and for projects in Berlin, Hamburg, Münster, Mannheim, Munich and Frankfurt am Main, our team also managed to set up an LED screen for the Formula 1 in Hockenheim on 15th July 2008. Abroad we were in London, Peking, the Paris trade fair and the Rei in Amsterdam. There is also another special highlight awaiting our support this month. Stagehands.de will have a hand in The Games Convention running from 19th to 23rd August in Leipzig where their services will actively contribute to the success of this popular trade fair of the video games industry.
