General description of the set
The set consists of a black glossy dance floor with a layer of soft floor underlay. On the floor are
two houses 2,17cm high, one left 3m wide , one right 6m wide with roofs to walk on. The space
between the houses makes a corridor which should be at least 2m wide. A 2m deep and 6m long
bridge (Zarge) is fixed on the houses and over the corridor between them, connecting the two roofs
. Roof tops and bridge (Zarge) are also covered with dance floor and there is a railing surrounding
the roof tops on the sides and the back edges. The third house is a „high rise“ with maximum 8,5m
height. The height is adjustable to a smaller room to a minimum of 5m height. Behind the houses
at the very back of the scene is a painted backdrop which is fixed to a traverse frame. There are
two video screens, one left 4,65m wide, one right 3m wide on triangle steel frames placed in the
front of the houses , as well as a billboard of 2,5m width placed on the roof top of the right house.
The band is placed under the left side screen where there is a big pile of rubble consisting of

wooden „telephone corner „ counter with plastic stools to it.
