Contra-bass will be made available for company’s use at all times. 5. STAGE & SOFT GOODS A) Stage The piece takes place on an open stage with the theater's technical elements revealed. Many different types of spaces may work for this. The company will consider spaces on a case-by-case basis. Generally the stage should be at least 36’ (11m) wide and at least 20’ (6m) deep. The stage must be clean and cleared of any trash or debris before the arrival of the company. B) Stage Surface The stage floor must be of wood construction, free of nails or gouges. The stage floor should be black or stained a dark color, preferably with a worn look. A table and chair will be dragged across the stage floor. C) Soft Goods & Masking Because the production takes place on an open stage any masking must typically be struck or flown out of sight prior to the arrival of the Company. This includes legs, borders, tabs, travelers, curtains, cycloramas, backdrops, and masking for offstage areas. The Company may elect to use some masking to solve issues specifically associated with the theatre (exit signs, light leaks, etc.). The main house curtain will not be used. 6. SET AND PROPS The Company travels with some hand props but the Presenter is required to provide the majority of what constitutes the scenery for the show. Because the concept for the scenery is a theatre stage that is in the middle of load-in or load-out, most of the scenic design is highly adaptable using found equipment and objects at the theatre. There are, however, a number of specific elements that the Presenter must provide. A) General Set Dressing Typically the scenic designer will observe the light hang and create the set dressing based upon the actual equipment used during a load-in at the theatre. The Company would also like permission to search around the theater in search of elements that may help to dress the stage. Typical items used in the set dressing include: meat racks, road cases or boxes, cable racks, hampers, carts, dollies, ladders, lifts, pipe, boom bases, mic stands, etc. Designer will also use many extra/unused lighting instruments on the stage as dressing. Please provide the Company with general information about the items available 6 weeks prior to the engagement. 6 of 16

T An Iliad Technical Rider v5.5 as of 4/20/2020 /2020 11. TRANSLATION AND SUPERTITLES In non-English speaking countries a simultaneous translation of the production’s text is required. The Presenter must execute a full translation of the text from English into the local language for review by the Director at least six weeks prior to the performance. The translation must be created from review of the video of the performances as well as from the written script, as specifics of the pacing of the text can only be understood by a deep understanding of the live performance. The presenter must provide a supertitle system for presenting the translation that allows for the audience to view Mr. O’Hare and the text at the same time. This means that the supertitle screen must be placed upstage and hung relatively low so the audience does not have to shift their eyes to see the performer and the text simultaneously. A typical supertitle setup presenting text at the top of the proscenium or on the sides of the stage is NOT acceptable for this production even though it may be the venue standard for foreign language presentations. Please see Appendix III for photos of previous successful supertitle screens. The exact size and position of the screen is dependent on the specific stage layout, local language, and other factors. In general, the minimum screen size is 2’ (0.75m) high by 13’ (4m) wide accommodating 2 lines of text. The screen could be shorter, but it would have to be taller to be able to accommodate the same amount of text. The screen must be hung at least 5’ (1.5m) downstage of the back wall of the stage at a height of 10’ to 18’ (3m – 5.5m) from the floor depending on sightlines. The supertitles must be white text on a black background. Due to the lighting design of the show, a large-format LED screen is ideal. If presented using projection, a minimum 14,000 lumen projector is required. During all rehearsals and presentations, the presenter must provide a bilingual operator for the translation system. It is preferable if the same person who created the translation can operate the system during the performances. Some portions of the production require translations that are specific to the venue’s location. Presenter will also provide bilingual (English and local language) translator, to work with the company prior to and during engagement to ensure translations represent the local and regional meanings intended by the Company. PLEASE NOTE: The company views the translator as a genuine artistic collaborator and will work closely with the translator as the translation is developed and during the rehearsals prior to the first performance. 12. REHEARSAL STUDIO During day one of the technical set-up, before the stage is available to the performers, the company may require a rehearsal studio. Exact times will be coordinated between the Company and Presenter. The studio should be at least 8m (26') by 6m (20') and be equipped with a small rehearsal sound system. 14 of 16
