- Duivelsteen 2
Verloren Bekisting was asked to build a stage for Broei Yart in the garden of the Duivelsteen castle for Gentse Feesten 2024. The castle is going under renovation works soon so the collective could borrow the scaffolding from the contractor.
Two scaffoldings filled in with all previous year’s material (see first image above).
Two scaffoldings with two levels meeting each other at a 60 degree angle. To make the scaffolding accessible at its two levels, railings had to be provided until a height that the scaffolding system itself could not. All the planks of the red wooden roof structure from the previous year were re-used to make railings. Only a bit of white paint added.
The two stairs of the scaffolding bring the visitor from the level of the street to the garden and from the level of the garden to its first and second level.
Two big triangles are introduced as backdrop for the two scaffoldings. One triangle facing down is the exact cutout of the other triangle facing up. The wooden beams of previous year’s roof structure were also re-used and implemented as a separate structure for the roof of the stage. Topped up with the same white tarp.
