Eurovision Song Contest 2015<\/h1>\n
\n

The 60th Eurovision Song Contest (ESC) was held this year in Vienna on the 23rd of May. The opening ceremony already was a goosebumps moment for example due to the breathtaking light show. Last year’s winner Conchita Wurst opened the finale with the motto song of this year’s ESC, “Building Bridges”.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

Kinetic ballet of spheres installed above the audience using 629 winches<\/h4>\n

The kinetic ballet of spheres consisted of a matrix of 37×17 spheres, which were individually hung of on a winch. Each sphere was filled with approx. 800 grams of rape to prevent the ropes from sagging when quickly lowering them. The winches were attached to a 10.2 meters deep and about 29 meters wide\u00a0truss square<\/a>. The center sphere row could be moved along an\u00a0EHB track<\/a>\u00a0so an\u00a0aerial system<\/a>\u00a0could be moved through the kinetic ballet of spheres on which last year’s winner Conchita Wurst was flown during the show. Conchita even visited our pre-assembly hall in Castrop-Rauxel for a test flight.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]\t\t
