TA-DA TAM-TAM
The Festival Of Experimental Stages
In our design, we want to draw added value from the lock ruin by making four functional areas of the lock accessible to visitors in a playful way. The structure of the lock will only be interfered minimally, so that it can still be experienced as a ruin. The individual areas of the lock function as mini-stages refer to the original technical function.
The laid-out walkways guide visitors through the surrounding thicket and offer an exciting discovery tour on the way to the stages.
The main square between two overflow towers is intended to serve as an arrival point and orientation area for visitors. The supply core with catering and sanitary facilities is located in the containers to the north and south of the main square.
TA
Two water-saving basins, which were never completed, are located to the north and south of the longitudinal axis of the lock staircase.
The water-saving basins are extremely important for raising and lowering the water level
and save 50 percent of the water lost during the lock process.
The platform is intended to take up the function of equalization and
symbolized by a balance rocker. The performers have to coordinate their synchronized movements and walking patterns in order to keep the seesaw in balance at all times. The seating, which is a modified miniature version of the balance seesaw, allows visitors to experience the challenges of the artists and become part of the action.
DA
In the original structure, the lock was planned with two water-saving basins. The water would have flowed from the water-saving basin into the lock chamber in the form of a water vortex.
This process is taken up by a rotating disk, allowing the people playing to glide over the rotating disk like water molecules. The spectators can experience the vortex via the movable seats.
TAM
A road bridge was planned at the west end of the lock. However, only the foundations were built. In order to come close to the original function,
a connection between the two components is to be created using slacklines. This creates a stage for
daring artists.
At the same time, the venue serves as a gateway for the playful discovery of the lock.
TAM
The water level of the lock staircase has a drop depth of 11 meters, which is to be recreated on the stage within the lock room.
This space will be used by aerial silk artists to illustrate the height for the audience. Slacklines are used to create a crossover in the retaining crosses of the lock walls, to which the artists hang themselves with the vertical silk. Spectators can watch the spectacle from a comfortable reclining position over stretched nets.
