Why don't you build a village on top of the world tree

Episode 25: Tacax Theatre

Summer is in full swing with a hot day.

Even when it comes to hot days, it doesn't exceed twenty-five degrees with a physical sensation.

"Bye, it's done -"

Melmie puts her hands on her hips and stretches her chest. Behind it was a theatre that had just been completed as declared.

It is the Tacax Theatre.

It is a wooden three-story theatre built on a third branch where the Takowka field is present, with a building cost of twenty jade coins. There won't be a theater to shoulder if you just throw in a comparable cost to the duet bridge and look around the north side of the world tree.

On the front of the building is a large garden, and this maintenance cost is ten pieces of jade coin. Since the total cost will be thirty pieces of jade coins, it is essentially the largest expenditure in the accounting history of the town of Tacax.

Incidentally, since the duet bridge was co-built with the former village of Kidato, adding the amount of investment from the former village of Kidato would result in a total building cost of forty pieces of jade coins. Even now, the tallest structure in the town of Tacax remains the duet bridge.

Melmie sighs around the Tacax Theatre and Garden.

"I wonder what. You feel like you've done it."

"I thought you said you were getting married when this was done."

I've thought many times not to flag you weird, but I'm glad you made it.

A gazebo of oval columns set in the garden, Richay, who was drinking herbal tea of his own blend, walks in with Teten.

"Will this garden be open at night?

Richay seemed to like the garden, enjoying the afternoon tea time perfectly, and he asks me that.

In the middle of the garden, a round of blossoming tall flowers resembling a number of planted tulips, rippy circles paint the pentagram stars, bordered by black takoukas destined to be discarded because of their uselessness.

In addition, the edge of the garden was edged with white takouka with a rippy circle planted in a triangle.

At night, the white octopus bordering the triangle illuminates the five gazebos in the direction indicated by the vertices of the central pentagram.

Brightly colored even by day, this garden changes its expression at night to become a moody date spot.

In relation to the third branch, we really needed this trick.

"Of course, I'm going to publish it. However, the atmosphere could be damaged if we don't make it a five-set exclusive, so let's set the rental fee later."

"Okay. I'd love to come over for the night."

Richay smiles when he says he can't set a price unless he feels it.

"Mr. Melmie likes the red triangle over there"

What Melmie pointed to was a gazebo on the side of a triangle drawn in red rippy circles.

"Then I'll make that blue triangle over there."

Richay points to the gazebo next to the planted blue rippy circle.

"... at home, I am"

I looked up at the theater when Teten proclaimed his drawstring.

It is reminiscent of the German Bayreut Festival Theatre. Three arched windows are arranged on the exterior walls separated by grease and grease.

Complete left-right symmetry, the roof is slightly special in shape but, to a large extent, it is even more overflowing with a polygonal cone.

The front porch has two open doors. It is intended for the entry and exit of persons, and the loading and exit of stage tools are on the back, so it is not so large.

A high ceiling entrance greets you as you enter from the overhead roof. There are arcades on the three sides of the wall except the front door, which you can see from me with the front door behind you and go upstairs from the left and right stairs.

"That's huge."

Look around the entrance and Richay squeaks.

Unlike a dormitory and auditorium in Rosas, Richay seemed confused by the size of the actual view, as I drew blueprints from start to finish with my right arm rehab.

"It's a relaxing entrance hall for over a hundred people. You can dance lightly now."

I plan to place tables and leather chairs later, so now is the only time I can dance.

Teten looks at the wall and puts his neck up.

"... the door?

He noticed a hidden door in the arcade.

"It's a waiting room for employees. It's not that big."

In the opposite direction, an outlet for beverages and brochures is to be set up.

Since the sales office has focal points not only in the entrance hall, but also on the garden side, care is taken to ensure that guests waiting for a performance do not have to fit in the entrance hall to kill time in the garden. Benches that are removed at night, which are on the garden side, are also part of the consideration.

"The audience can get up to five hundred people in, right? Would a hundred people at the entrance be just fine?

"I think it would be nice to know that there are more guests who kill time in the gardens, and that during the day the gardens are busier and the guests who rent the gardens at night are all alone."

A cunning hand, but it should work.

Up a staircase with a snowworm felt carpet that combines silence and anti-slip, to the upstairs section.

Although there is no balcony or anything else, the view of the garden from a large arched window is quite something. In addition to the central pentagram, there are five triangles and so on.

Not a beauty that mimics nature like a Japanese garden, but a neat artistic beauty that can be created at the hands of Western-inspired people increases the sense of anticipation for performances where people will be seeing extreme art.

I noticed Teten staring up at the ceiling and closing his eyes. Richay pulls my sleeve.

"What's going on with this ceiling?

"It's a mesh bill. I'm also using it for the ceiling of the theater hall I'm about to enter."

The mesh cost of knitting using bamboo and hedgehog plates is also used in Japan for tea rooms, etc.

It is also rarely used in coffee shops and so on in this world, but it is expensive to do the elaborate knitting of Arabesque as seen in Islamic architecture.

Know how much it would cost to use it for the ceiling of a theatre hall with five hundred people.

Enter the theatre hall directly connected from the upstairs section.

The seven-step audience seats, arranged in an arc, are fuzzy and comfortable to sit in.

Unlike the Byroit Festival Theatre, where Wargner, who hated the sound being absorbed, placed an audience seat that was wooden and unsuitable for sitting for long periods of time.

Likewise, the whole stage is visible from the audience. This can be taken for granted in relation to the theatre, which also performs theatre rather than concert hall.

"... ceiling, luxury"

Teten is looking up at the ceiling and half-opening his mouth.

The reticulated ceiling is very large to cover the entire hall, which can accommodate five hundred people. When it comes to elaborate patterns of mesh bills using its entirety, it's just a piece of art.

Behind the reticular ceiling is a beaant echo plate, which also means hiding this.

"Melmie and the others were working pretty hard."

"You haven't had much opportunity to create such a wide ceiling, but it's a reticular ceiling. Craftsmen knitted their nerves together."

Melmie looks up at the ceiling with a tired face.

"More than the whole theater, it might have been more accomplished by completing that reticular ceiling."

"Probably the biggest reticle in the world."

So much so that the craftsmen held a petite completion celebration on the completion date of the networking.

But this grid cost is just as effective as the effort.

"That reticle will diffuse the sound with the echo board behind it, so you can expect a deep and stretched sound even in the performance."

Materials were collected and studied from Yoinsley to make this effect.

It didn't take much time to find out because various schematics had been devised for this world's reticulation and research had been done on its effects, but I enjoyed just reading the results of the research.

The stage is proscenium-style, edged with a silver ratio proscenium arch, and also has depth.

The ceiling is also high and it is easier to carry tools from behind the scenes, combined with depth.

Take the stage from the audience.

On the left and right there is a passage that leads behind the scenes and into the holding room. Of course, it's an angle you can't see from the audience.

"What's up there?

The ceiling that Richay points to has three rails arranged in the H-shape.

"It's used to adjust the depth of the stage. I plan to lend it to all sorts of travelers as well as Rosas, so I thought I'd be able to adjust it according to my offerings."

A curtain rail moves in the depth direction of the stage over two rails running in parallel. Curtain rails rather than collisions were employed in order to be able to freely change the background of the stage.

If you paint a background on a white painted cloth and hang it from a curtain rail, you can freely change whether it is the trunk of a world tree, the sky, or the earth depicted in myth.

"There's no such thing as an aerial theater I used to work with."

"It was a big premise to use the sky behind the stage at that time, so no partition was one of the demands."

That's why instead of being like theatre without a specific act, an interesting piece is borrowed that can be used against the background of a real sky, with plays of old and new screenplays staged in the sky.

Tacax Theatre is easier to use in the sense of versatility, although I'm not talking about which is better.

After checking the control room and the back of the scene through the aisle from the stage, go outside through the tool entrance.

There is a square where you can turn a coyote car. As the most used lodging and auditorium in Rosas is on the other side of the first branch and the second branch, it is made on the assumption of carrying tools in a coyote car.

This side of the building faces a veranda that leaves the backstage aisle. To supervise the team carrying the tools from the top, so that they can see the whole thing and give instructions.

"Rosas, I want you to use it all once and ask me what I think."

Melmie looks up at the veranda and says: I guess I'm concerned about the comfort of using only buildings that are so splendid that they have a sense of accomplishment in person.

I'm worried too.

"Rosas, let's take the story to one place. Teten, rejoice. You don't have to get drunk because there's a VIP table."

"... good job"

When I crossed the duet bridge and went back to the office of the first branch, Mr. Aleut was waiting in front of the front door.

"Oh, welcome home. I wasn't even there, so I was just on my way."

Teten, who often leaves messages in the name of drawstrings, has a role to play in informing visitors where we are going.

It certainly wasn't a good idea not to leave one in the office.

"I'm sorry I kept you waiting. What's wrong, sir?

"It was time to have a detailed meeting about the wedding. Mr. Melmie, please don't run away."

"It's okay. Because I'm catching you."

At the stage of his far-sighted discovery of Mr. Aleut, he exchanged his gaze with Richay and walked to pinch Melmie between them.

"Yes, when?"
