« Le Mas du Taureau » media library — Vaulx-en-Velin
Scenography of the performance hall in a hybrid social and cultural facility.
The city of Vaulx-en-Velin has embarked on the construction of a hybrid social and cultural facility, the first stage of a programme of deep transformation for the Mas-du-Taureau district: a place that complements home and work, where residents can explore, imagine, learn, think, play, relax and reflect.
Built under the project management of Rudy Ricciotti, the facility houses a social club café, an initiatives room, a games library, a childhood-and-family space, a fablab, a leisure centre, an activity room and a performance hall. It thus carries out the remit of a lead media library at city scale together with that of a neighbourhood centre.
Set on the first level, the performance hall offers 117 retractable seats, including 11 wheelchair spaces, and opens up wide possibilities: music, dance, theatre, cinema, lectures, round tables, e-sport tournaments. It is fitted with a 110 m² stage, a motorized truss on four hoists with fall arrest, a motorized lighting bridge and a kabuki drop screen. The hall and stage walkways, suspended beneath the concrete slab, serve all the rigging points; the control position is at the back of the hall.
