Studio 100 Pop-Up Theater, Entertainment theater in Puurs-Sint-Amands, Belgium
Studio 100 Pop-Up Theater is a theater in Puurs-Sint-Amands, Belgium, built around eight movable platforms that together seat around 1,600 people. The structure is made of aluminum, which allows the stage layout to change during a performance.
The theater opened in October 2018 with a production called '40-45', centered on experiences from World War II. That first show set the tone for what the venue would become: a space where the room itself is part of the performance.
Studio 100 Pop-Up Theater hosts productions where the moving platforms are part of the story itself, not just a backdrop. Audiences seated on the platforms experience the show from shifting angles as the narrative progresses.
The venue sits at the junction of the A12 highway and the N16 road, so it is easy to reach by car. All visitors are given Sennheiser headphones for the show, which deliver clear sound regardless of where a platform is positioned at any moment.
Each of the eight platforms weighs around 40 tons and moves using laser navigation rather than tracks or rails. This means the system calculates the position of every platform in real time, allowing them to shift in a coordinated way without manual guidance.
