Les tulles forment la base des effets lumineux sur scène. Le tulle gobelin qui comporte des motifs tissés en forme de dents de requin(en anglais "shark's-tooth scrim"), s’utilise souvent pour obtenir des effets de transparence. Un éclairage approprié devant ou dérrière un rideau de fond Gobelin, peut faire apparaître et disparaître des objets ou artistes sur scène. Les tulles, gazes ou filets de scène s’utilisent comme toile de fond, vélum, surface de projection, comme filet de protection pour la fosse d’orchestre, ou pour y accrocher des éléments décoratifs. 2, record 2, French, - tulle%20dents%20de%20requin
