The bamboo theatre is mainly composed of bamboo and fir beams, pillars and frames, and the outer cover is zinc and iron to keep out the shade and rain. According to different needs, the scaffolding master can flexibly build a theatre that can accommodate as few as hundreds and as many as thousands of spectators, which reflects the wisdom of traditional Chinese architecture. In the event, experienced scaffolding masters demonstrate the scaffolding skills, and participants will have the opportunity to learn and experience in person.
