Plan view

Shape approximate: the venue publishes area only, so this room is drawn as a square of equal area.

LED wall that fits

Under a 6 m ceiling with 1.5 m trim and 0.3 m clearance you get 8 rows of 500 mm tile flown. Along the 36.1 m wall a Absen PL2.5 Plus V2 wall runs 57 x 8 (11400 x 1600 px, 3,557 kg, 73 kW).

Panel	Pitch	Wall (cols x rows)	Size	Resolution	Weight	Power (max)
Absen KLCOB 0.78	0.78 mm	48 x 12 = 576	28.8 x 4.1 m	36864 x 5184	2,592 kg / 5,714 lb	51 kW, 245 A @ 208 V
Absen PL2.5 Plus V2	2.5 mm	57 x 8 = 456	28.5 x 4 m	11400 x 1600	3,557 kg / 7,841 lb	73 kW, 351 A @ 208 V
Absen PL3.9 Plus V2	3.9 mm	57 x 8 = 456	28.5 x 4 m	7296 x 1024	3,557 kg / 7,841 lb	63.8 kW, 307 A @ 208 V

Wall sizing assumes 1.5 m trim to the bottom edge, 0.3 m clearance under the ceiling, and a wall no wider than 80% of the longest wall. Weight and power are tile totals from the panel spec sheet; add processing, rigging, and cable.

Seating estimate

After a 12 x 7 m stage, Les Contades holds about 2,709 theater seats, 1,108 banquet seats at rounds of 10, or 762 classroom seats. Back row in theater is roughly 29.1 m from the downstage edge; the previz checks whether the bottom of the wall clears the heads in front.
