We created a number of raised platforms throughout the space to allow performers to attain vertical positions, mostly reached by a pair of rolling step units. We placed two of the soloists - Ariadne and Mercurius (above) - on risers atop the concession booths and others above the ticket kiosks. For each of these positions, we were required to devise a masked entrance with steps or ladders to allow the performer to get into place. Finally, we placed two soloists in hydraulic lifts, to be raised into position for the penultimate duet.
