Variable, Weatherproof Lighting for Sporting Events: GLP ArenaLED1 Touring Highlights the Love of Soccer

Back on 15 November, the German sporting goods manufacturer Adidas presented the official match ball for UEFA EURO 2024 for the first time. The presentation was followed by a five-day event, which took place directly in front of the Berlin Olympic Stadium. In order to put the new ball into immediate use, a temporary round playing field was created in the middle of a specially raised ‘crater’ – this was used both as part of an official program while at the same time being made accessible to members of the public. PRG Germany acted as general technical service provider for the event and used a total of 48 GLP ArenaLED1 Touring systems to illuminate the playing area, with 12 fixtures mounted on each of four arrays.Read More »Variable, Weatherproof Lighting for Sporting Events: GLP ArenaLED1 Touring Highlights the Love of Soccer

Jeff Croiter Calls on CHAUVET Professional for Sabbath Theatre

Reality dangles precariously on the strings held by the puppeteer. Hidden behind the scenes, this master of illusion exerts an invisible hand to create a world of its own in a small space. It is a world familiar to Mickey Sabbath, an aging, manipulative and sex-obsessed puppeteer, who is the subject of Sabbath’s Theatre, a new play by Ariel Levy and John Turturro, based on the Phillip Roth novel of the same name.

Back to the Roots – Chris Glatthor with Cameo on Rea Garvey’s Club Tour

Rea Garvey is one of the best-known musicians in Germany and is a guest on the biggest stages and festivals year after year. An arena tour for his new album “Halo” has already been announced for 2024. Prior to this, the likeable Irishman took the opportunity to feel the intimate audience proximity of smaller clubs again with the “Roots” tour – a very special live environment that requires a lot of flexibility on the ground.

Rocketchris relied on the Cameo PIXBAR G2, AZOR and ZENIT Series – among others – for the minimalist stage designs.

Ed Warren & CHAUVET Professional Bring Flower Power to The Lottery Winners

It is close to impossible to improve on the power a flower to give rise to warm feelings and good thoughts, but Ed Warren managed to do just that when he lit The Lottery Winners’ recent homecoming show.  The “flowers” that this well-known lighting designer planted on stage at the iconic 02 Apollo Manchester might not have been as  delicately beautiful as the red and yellow blooms that dot nearby Ardwick Green every spring (nor were they anywhere near as fragrant!), but they did inspire the sellout crowd at this show, while also reflecting the freewheeling spirit of the local band, who reach the top of the UK charts for the first time last spring.Read More »Ed Warren & CHAUVET Professional Bring Flower Power to The Lottery Winners
