Genesis of a Production at the Salle Richelieu

  4 months before

      Set construction starts at the Sarcelles workshop: 5 warehouses, 5 000 m2 and a staff of 25.
Tapestries, furniture, sculptures, props, painted canvasses, everything is taken care of here. Most of the time, work progresses simultaneously on several productions. Keeping in mind the fact that a backdrop can measure 15 m long by 9 m wide (135 m2) and must be laid down on the ground for two days, organising is essential.
