Scenography

As part of the development of the Gammarth convention center, dUCKS scéno worked in collaboration with the Saguez & Partner agency to develop spaces dedicated to the public. The modularity of the spaces is at the heart of the project, with a variety of uses adapted to the needs of the convention center. Several configurations have been defined, including a 3,500-seat convention center, two 1,000-seat convention rooms, exhibition space, theater, seated concert venue, wedding/banquet hall, and mixed-use space, as well as stage equipment dedicated to these various uses. The La Cigale complex also includes movie theaters for which dUCKS scéno is studying visibility curves and audiovisual equipment.
