Julien Trochu and West Evénement Light the Creative Spirit of Les Trans with CHAUVET Professional

The music starts at 9pm and continues virtually nonstop until morning. This process is repeated over the course of four days inside 100,000 square meters of cavernous airport hangers.

There are few times in the course of events when history teeters on the brink, as it braces itself for events that will not merely change things but sweep away all that is familiar and turn reality on its head.  Germany’s Weimar Republic took place in one such period. Stradling the two world wars, it lived and died during the decade-and-a-half when democracy gave way to Nazism, and the world, as most people knew it, changed forever.Read More »Jerry Appelt Evokes History at Babylon Berlin Live with CHAUVET Professional
