The Han Show Theatre

Wuhan, Hubei, China
Stufish Entertainment Architects

To make the ambitious goals of Franco Dragone’s Han Show a reality, we collaborated with Stufish Entertainment Architects to create the state-of-the art, purpose-built Han Show Theater.

8.7 meters

height of the theatre

The spectacular water show required the design and specification of numerous unconventional and challenging pieces of theatre equipment and infrastructure including three large mechanized articulated robot arms, each of which holds a pivoting LED screen measuring 7 meters by 11 meters. The venue features 2,000 seats on pivoting platforms surrounding a 10 million liter performance basin. Working with the design team, we designed and specified 13 wet and dry lifts, which allow the user to create a dry thrust stage that can lower into the basin for access to scenic elements stored in underwater garages. Additionally, to meet the show’s need for special and atmospheric effects, we designed one-of-a-kind theatre systems and infrastructure.
