Theatres & shows
Plays, concerts and comedy where the audience watches the stage, not a screen. Fewer recordings, fewer glowing screens in the stalls and fewer interruptions.
How we see it
We propose planning the entry and exit flow with the venue or promoter: where phones are put away, where they are unlocked and how many staff are needed.
Designed for:
- Audience entry and exit flow
- Unlocking points in the foyer and at the interval
- Working out how many pouches and unlocking devices are needed
A show with Focalia
“Each guest puts their phone in the pouch on the way into the venue.”
— Doors · Entry
“The closed pouch stays with them throughout the performance.”
— Show · Phone put away
“They can open it in the foyer and close it again before going back in.”
— Interval · If needed
“They open it with the unlocking device at the exit.”
— End · Exit
Designed for the stage
Fewer recordings
Helps protect the show's content and the artists' work.
A present audience
Fewer glowing screens and notifications in the middle of the performance.
Guests keep their phone
No phone cloakroom and no queues to collect them.
More attention in the room
Performers and audience share the moment with fewer interruptions.
