“We’ve used our Kabuki drapes for planes, trains and automobiles – quite literally,” said Rent What?/Sew What? partner Megan Duckett, noting the recent Kabuki unveiling of an entire airplane. “We’re surprised how completely this drape is catching on, and not just for performers.”
Automobile manufacturers are now regularly revealing their new models at car shows with the drop of Kabuki drapes, Duckett said. Even municipalities have employed Kabuki drapes. One recent example was a town that used the drape to unveil a new statue on the steps of its city hall.
To accommodate these oversized presentations, Rent What? has provided Kabuki drop rental with drapes as large as 60 feet high by 120 feet wide, along with the accompanying solenoid release systems.
Kabuki drapes remain popular with concert applications, Duckett added, citing rentals for performances by Enrique Iglesias, Alice in Chains, Brooks & Dunn, Jay-Z and Maxwell.
“It’s all about drama,” Duckett added. “At the push of a button, these drapes are suddenly set in motion and the effect is both immediate and powerful. Because the Kabuki can be used to either conceal or reveal, or both, it’s one of the most versatile drapes in our large rental inventory.”
