Transformation Using Automated Seating Wagons and Stage Lifts

Thanks to three custom-made motorized tiered wagons providing a total of 195 retractable seats, the Hydro Québec Auditorium can alternate between large-scale and more intimate configurations.

The stage area, equipped with compact mechanical lifts, expands the range of possible configurations and enables the creation of an oversized stage for productions requiring something other than a standard proscenium layout. This flexibility allows the theatre to support an exceptionally wide variety of performances, including theatre, circus, puppetry, virtual reality, and even wrestling.

"« La ville de Québec m’a vu naître, mais le monde m’a fait grandir. Je parcours la planète depuis maintenant 45 ans. Il m’est apparu nécessaire de poser mes valises et de créer Le Diamant en 2019, un lieu de rencontre unique où convergeraient toutes les formes d’arts afin de faire rayonner la culture et l’innovation d’ici et d’ailleurs.  » "
