Backbone translated these stage designs into technical and logistical reality. Next to the technical realization of the various stage designs, Backbone was also responsible for the site production of the various locations as well as the outside areas.

This massive operation was managed by a production manager, provided by Backbone, responsible for the entire production process, budgeting and logistics. Often this production manager had a dual capacity: production manager as well as technical producer.
