Devlin and Tait worked with Beyoncé and her team, including production managers Malcolm Weldon and Jake Berry, and lighting designer Tim Routledge to build the custom-designed stage, comprising a treadmill runway, a B-stage pool filled with water, winches carrying acrobatic performers, a stage lift, and the full structure that supports PRG Nocturne 70' video screens. These stage elements are controlled by Tait Navigator automation.
StageCo engineered and built the central revolving set piece, and Devin says that Dirk de Dekker and his team at StageCo were a crucial part of the core creative team, says Devlin. “Tom Frederickx is the engineer who was central to bringing the idea of a giant revolving sculpture to life and worked closely with Tait and with all other departments throughout the process. It was very much a case of StageCo building a revolving/sliding skeleton, and Tait and PRG coating it with staging and video skin.”
