Usine C

Usine C is a multidisciplinary and historic industrial-style theatre venue with two performance spaces. The project at Usine C is very interesting, because SHOWSDT's mandate was to update the rigging and control system while reusing all of the elements that were still operational and useful for the multifunctional space.

The National Arts Centre

SHOWSDT was chosen as the supplier of the soft goods to replace all the stage curtains for Southam Hall and for the Theatre. More than 1.6 km of fabric was supplied for this project in the form of black velour masking, black and white scrims, and cycloramas.
