Tent City - The Circus TentThe largest, most modern and most expensive circus tent of the present can only be describedin superlatives. Over a million marks was spent for the special production with a diameter of 48 x 64 meters and a dome height of 14 meters. The roof alone consists of 30 parts and covers 3,000 square meters. The total area of the tent approximately equates to the area of a football field.
meters long steel masts, four steel lattice auxiliary masts, 120 storm and cross beams as well as 250 iron anchors provide necessary security, even during the most violent of storms. All tent related photos on this page are from 1999. Current pictures can be accessed here.  In less than one day, the gigantic tent construction "stands" with seats, manège, show stage, light and sound controls - ready for performances, officially approved and in top condition. Within the area of the illumination engineering with Krone, standards have been established. Approximately 140 securely installed headlights, as well as eight "golden scans" ensure for the different lighting effects of the individual numbers. Four "searchlights" place artists and animals into the right light. UV lamps and pyrotechnic mechanisms additionally provide for colorful elements.
The electronically steered loudspeakers and amplifier provide for the correct sound during the performances.
Circus Krone endeavors to maintain the romantic elements of the traditional circus while incorporating new technology and acts, which have been widely accepted by newer generations of circus aficionados. |
