Inspiring Muse
Brilliant Stages is currently supplying alternative rock band Muse with innovative sets on the world tour of their fifth album Resistance.
Based on Es Devlin’s design, under the auspices of production manager Chris Vaughan, the set consists of an 18 metre-wide circular stage, flanked by three metre-high tech bunkers, complete with access stairs and topped by three ‘stair towers’, each weighing four tons, which carry video screens on all four surfaces.
Brilliant Stages built the stage to conceal three hydraulic performer scissor lifts, a piano lift to the rear, a set of access steps embedded in the stage behind the central drum riser and three star traps from which appear props and performers throughout the show. The central performer lift also supports a riser into which is set a revolve which carries the drum kit. The set will travel with Muse through Europe, the US, Japan, New Zealand and Australia, before returning to the UK in September 2010.
