Leva designs kinetic face for Puy du Fous The sword of King Arthur
The engineering office Leva, based in Turin, has developed a large -scale area kinetic Facial installation for the sword of King Arthur, one of the performances France Puy du fou historical theme park. The permanent outdoor structure has the shape of a moving face that is integrated into a tower that encourages the magician during the show to represent the morganist.
The installation Combines mechanical precision with theater stagnation. Measurement of 12 m² sculpture Consists of 206 tailor -made modules, each of which is driven by a linear actuator with a travel area of 70 cm. These elements work together to generate a continuously moving surface that is able to be liquid and lifelike expression and at the same time remains durable under performance conditions.

The kinetic face shows the role of movement in the stage design
In the core of the project is the proprietary movement control system from LEVA, which synchronizes the movements of each actuator. This enables the face to carry out nuanced gestures and shifts that integrate into the story of the show. The Design team optimized the arrangement of modules to maximize the visual resolution and ensure that the geometry of the sculpture of public observation routes remains clear and legible.
The material and structural strategies emphasize both efficiency and long -term business capability. The maintenance requirements were taken into account during the design phase, with modular constructions to simplify future adjustments. The result is a dynamic wall sculpture that combines engineering with performance design and improves the immersive properties of Arthurian history. Leva's kinetic facial installation at Puy Du Fou extends the company's portfolio of large -scale kinetic works. The earlier projects include the world's largest kinetic wall for the VIP innovation center of Aramco and an interactive tunnel inspired by Desert Dunes in Diriyah, Saudi Arabia.
