le cintre Explanation: So it seems (but not my field). Or "cintres". "Cintre : Il correspond au dessus d'un théâtre équipé à l'italienne. Il est, à la fois, l'endroit situé sous la voûté du bâtiment et le point de convergence de tous les fils servant à la manœuvre de décors équipés en hauteur." http://www.theatrons.com/aspects-techniques.php https://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cintres |

tour de scène Explanation: There are some good technical glossaries for theatres, and among them, I found this source (NB: Canadian) which makes the distinction between 'the flies' (as part of the stage) and 'the fly tower' (as part of the building) From this entry for 'Cintre', I think you obtain the other two terms that you probably need — and I suspect the version with 'tour' is going to be closest. Cintre Voûte, cage aménagée au-dessus de la scène pour y recevoir les décors à dégagement vertical; on dit aussi « cage de scène et « tour de scène » . Par métonymie: support servant à suspendre le décor. I think the 'cage' refers primarily to the entire internal structure, which is often constructed like a gigantic 'table' sitting above the stage, whereas I believe the 'tour' refers more properly to the part of the building that houses it. From this lead, you should easily be able to research to confirm. https://www.theatrales.uqam.ca/glossaire.html |
