The different soundscape required a different approach to lighting, and for lighting control, Campana used two grandMA2 light and one MA NPU (Network Processing Unit).
Campana explains, "We already played 10 gigs in the arena back in 2009, so luckily I knew the location: aesthetically clean, essential, stylistically austere. Let's not forget this is a Roman amphitheatre dating back to the first century AD!
"My aim was therefore to echo certain classical guidelines in the lighting design. I believe life and work decisions must have a solid ground underneath, and therefore I knew straight away that the whole lighting set-up had to be managed by a grandMA2 console. This has been a recurring choice throughout my career, and MA Lighting is my go-to brand.
"I am convinced that this is the only brand on the market that can offer me real guarantees, versatility and constant efficiency. On this very occasion I knew I was going to have little time for testing and setting up the show, and I prepared as much of the work as possible 'virtually' in the weeks before. Notwithstanding these limitations, thanks to grandMA2 onPC, I could carry out the task to the best of my abilities."
Agorà delivered the lighting equipment. Molpass is the exclusive distributor of MA Lighting in Italy.
