Earlier in the year LumenRadio's CRMX wireless technology also played a major part in the spectacular production of Kristina - a piece about one of Sweden's most controversial historical queens set in a modern scenography.
"We built custom stage props and elements with integrated battery powered LED lighting controlled by CRMX Nova receivers for both these shows," says Tommy Leandersson, stage technician at Stockholm City Theatre. " Aniara featured a two-metre long translucent element representing a celestial body central to the storyline and carried around on stage by two actors during the performance.
"For Kristina we created 15 giant letters, each 3m high, that moved to form different words during the show; every letter containing individual integrated LEDs and CRMX Nova units to provide easy control and colour changing capabilities. Everything was wireless, battery powered, controlled by our lighting console, and worked perfectly."
"LumenRadio has worked closely with many end users during the development and testing of our CRMX technology and products, but we are particularly thankful to have had the opportunity to work with the experienced staff at the Stockholm City Theatre," comments Anders Ardstål, VPO of LumenRadio. "Their creative efforts and technical prowess in these two performances showcased our CRMX technology in a spectacular way that pleased audiences and critics alike."
