NECRONOMIPOLE

Between its lines you will find the wisdom you need to survive this event

TECHNICAL CONSIDERATIONS

Music Length: There is NO MINIMUM of time, if you manage to transmit all these aspects in one minute… go for it! But in Hell we don’t like dragging on forever (wink wink) so the performance cannot be longer than 4 MINUTES.

Use of stage: any pandemonium has its own structure and, despite of our efforts to make you feel at home, there are some rules of the game that you should comply with if you don’t want to be kicked out of hell.

• Use of fire and flammable substances is not allowed. Other liquids, smoke and particles use is limited to the stage perimeter and must be consulted with the organization to determine if it is possible in terms of time and cleaning.
• You are not allowed to staple, sew or glue anything to the walls or the curtain. To hang something from the truss you must consult the organization.
• Any physical contact with the jury and the audience is limited by the principles of dignity and physical integrity.

We would like you to create and express freely, but please check with us any transgression you think it could come into conflict with these rules. Otherwise we’ll have to take Cerberus for a walk…

What aspects are we judging?

Our Coven of Judges may grant you a maximum score of 100 points. They will assess the pole execution but mostly the artistic elements and the impact generated in the audience.

These are the aspects brought on trial
