Revolving stage
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A revolving stage is a mechnically controlled platform within a theatre that can be rotated in order to speed up the changing of a scene within a show. The first western theatre to feature a revolving stage was the Residenztheater in Munich, installed in the last decade of the twentieth century.
It is common practice to reverse the rotation of a rotating stage as frequently as possible to prevent cables from becoming twisted, and eventually breaking.
