At Theater Tol, every performance is a fusion of art and engineering. While our audiences experience a world of magic, movement, and music, behind the scenes, a sophisticated blend of technology and technical expertise brings these visions to life. From cutting-edge aerial rigs to immersive lighting and projection design, innovation is at the heart of everything we do.

Aerial Precision: The Art of Flying
Our aerial performances require more than just creative choreography—they demand precision engineering. Custom-built rigs, dynamic harness systems, and state-of-the-art counterweight technology allow our performers to soar with elegance and ease. Depending on the venue, weather conditions and even crane, we can adjust height and movement.

Lighting and Projection: Painting with Light
Light is one of the most powerful tools in storytelling. Carefully designed illumination highlights movement, creates atmosphere, and transports audiences into our dreamlike worlds. In Pedaleando Hacia el Cielo and Above & Beyond, we take this even further by incorporating a filmscreen wrapped around the truss, where we project images that enhance the narrative. Meanwhile, in Garden of Angels, our “star screen” -a canopy of hundreds of twinkling fairy lights- creates an ethereal effect, enveloping our performers in a mesmerizing glow.
And when it comes to adding a final spectacular touch, we go beyond traditional lighting -our aerial structures can feature fireworks mounted on top of the truss, creating dazzling bursts of light in perfect harmony with the performance below.

Soundscapes That Surround You
Music is the heartbeat of our performances, and delivering crystal-clear sound in an open-air setting is a challenge we embrace. Our productions use advanced speaker placement, wireless sound transmission, and live musicians to ensure that every note resonates, no matter the location.

Seamless Integration with Any Location
Each site brings unique technical challenges, and we thrive on adapting our productions accordingly. Whether performing on a historic square, a bustling urban street, or a crowded festival, our technical team ensures that every element -from aerial rigging to power supply- functions flawlessly without disrupting the natural environment.
Much of this technical mastery is made possible by our Productional Director, Lukas Proot. His deep understanding of light and lighting design, logistics, and site-specific problem-solving allows Theater Tol to push the limits of what’s possible, creating performances that are as seamless as they are spectacular.
