Ombra Design Enhances Nuclear Tactical Penguins’ Dream Show With CHAUVET Professional and Zalight

“A Concert For Dreamers.” That is how one music critic described the two-and-a-half-hour concert by the red-hot Italian indie group Pinguini Tattici Nuclear (Tactical Nuclear Weapons) at RCF Arena, Europe’s largest outdoor concert venue. Like all beautiful dreams, this one too embraced a never-ending universe of hope and possibilities. There were breathtaking pyrotechnics, on-stage tattoo art, lighthearted humor and bantering, ironic musings, and some very spirited sing-alongs involving a crowd of 80,000. Supporting the pulsating, upbeat music of this six-member Italian pop band, which takes its name from a Scottish beer, was a vibrant light and video show by Ombra Design that featured 120 CHAUVET Professional COLORado PXL Bar 16 motorized battens, imported by Zalight and serviced by Agora.Read More »Ombra Design Enhances Nuclear Tactical Penguins’ Dream Show With CHAUVET Professional and Zalight
