Forever Crazy tours with a Turn-Key Kit.
The kit consists of a sophisticated, self contained and equipped truss structure that can either be set-up on a stage or in a large open space.
To make the sensual experience complete and create the feeling of a cozy, intimate cabaret, we strongly suggest to arrange for the venue to be accessorized according to our scenic instructions and with champagne bars. Presenting the show in a exhibition type hall offers many economic, artistic and strategic advantages that deserve special consideration.
The scenic kit includes pre-designed and adaptable elements & accessories which delimit the space, special bars, a seating lay- out, a boutique merchandise area and a ticket counter, as well as pre and post show entertainment concept and all that jazz… !
The trademark stage is designed like a “frame”, which outlines and highlights the dazzling dancers (6 m large x 2 m high) much like a sensual masterpiece. For an intimate, sensual experience the capacity should not exceed 650 seats, though this is variable. Crazy Buzz Event Marketing
