Claypaky supports Afterlife in Buenos Aires
- Details
Claypaky lighting took centre stage at the Mandarine Park & Tent at Punto Carrasco on 8-9 March for the two shows.
The duo is known for curating shows that transport audiences to another dimension with artistic activations, visually impactful installations and unique soundscapes, created by themselves and a variety of extraordinary supporting artists. They launched Afterlife in 2016, a show billed as an odyssey through the realm of consciousness, an immersive experience that transcends the limits of reality.
Lighting designer Pascal Bach was involved in the design of Afterlife. For the Buenos Aires show, BALS (Buenos Aires Live Show) provided a large complement of Claypaky fixtures to showcase the one-of-a-kind spectacular.
“This type of show requires lightweight, fast and sharp beams in order to achieve a visually stunning installation that is up to standards. With Claypaky Sharpy Plus and Unicos, we were confident that this objective could be achieved without any problems,” says Hugo Mossi, commercial director at BALS.
The design specified four Claypaky Scenius Unicos, two per side, extended in lateral sections inside the stage structure. They were specially positioned to act as follow spots for the performing artists.
A further 36 Scenius Unicos, 18 per side, were mounted on each side of the lateral stage structures. They were oriented to produce on-stage effects and visual patterns on the crowd. The fixtures’ beam and cage type effects helped contribute to the immersive atmosphere.
In addition, 52 Sharpy Plus were positioned on the upper LED screen perimeter with 52 more on the front stage floor perimeter.
Macaio Argentina is the exclusive distributor of Claypaky lighting in Argentina. Mauricio Brando is Claypaky’s area sales manager for Latin America.
