Mexico - Performance company Finzi Pasca recently used a large number of Elation Professional luminaires on the interactive show Abrazos at the 2019 State Fair of León in the state of Guanajuato, Mexico. More than 100 Elation fixtures took part in the show, giving life to a series of acrobatic, music and contortion acts.
A package of 42 SixBar 1000 IP, eight Smarty Hybrid, 18 Fuze Wash Z350, 16 Fuze Pair Z120 IP, 11 Colour 5 Profile, eight Paladin and 8 DTW Blinder 700 IP luminaires was used to light the show, which played from 11 January to 5 February. Daniele Finzi Pasca, director of Switzerland-based Compagnia Finzi Pasca and creator of shows such as Corteo and Luzia for Cirque Du Soleil, wrote and directed the show. Lighting design was by Daniele Finzi Pasca and Alexis Bowles.
In the centre of the arena, a 15m square stage was illuminated using eight Acclaim Flex Tube RGB LED strips and surrounded by 42 Elation SixBar 1000 IP battens washing the stage from all angles. Trimmed at a height of 12m, fast and compact Smarty Hybrid moving heads along with Fuze Wash Z350 and Fuze Par Z120 IP single source par moving head luminaires highlighted the dozen artists who starred in the show.
Grupo Produce Comunicación was in charge of the production and its 75 performances. The Mexican company offers production services for corporate and government events, AV productions and video mapping, among other services.
