As events go, there is probably no other theatrical production in the world that can boast the kind of special effects, choreography with military personnel and assets and scenic staging sets that all get thrown into a 250m x 60m performance stage that is built from ground up on a car park that is arranged into an action-packed and engaging show for a live audience. To deliver this show, Protec was commissioned to use the outdoor car park of the ADNEC Exhibition Centre in Abu Dhabi to build a temporary staging venue. Another 100m on either side of the staging area was used as backstage areas for the performers and vehicles, including
all the required plant, ablution units, pathways, holding areas, production offices, etc.
The opening ceremony of the International Defence Exhibition and Conference took place on February 19.
The show had a mix of local heritage performances, local & international military parades and the main part of the show which was a battle enactment of a fictitious scenario where an elite military group representing the Land Forces, Special Forces, Navy and Air Force liberate ”a war torn nation in the mountains” from militia control.
