"The theatre, which is considered one of the most prestigious in Catalonia, opened in 2001," says Jose Louis Seoane, project manager for Stonex. "From the beginning it was equipped with Avab control desks, so the move to Congo was straightforward. It has the familiar philosophy of Avab, offering easy and efficient control."
The theatre has taken delivery of six lighting control desks in total: the 740 seat Fabià Puigserver auditorium has a Congo plus a Congo jr as backup, while the 60 seat sala de prensa (lecture room) will be using two Congo junior desks with a fader unit. As the company also produces national tours, it bought a Congo and Congo jr backup system for travelling.
Rai García, head of Teatre Lliuere's lighting department, says, "We have always worked with Avab desks, so Congo was the natural choice for the type of work that we do. ETC is a brand that means safety and we know it's a brand we can trust."
The theatre already has over 900 ways of Sensor dimming to cover its three performance spaces and some 60 ETC Source Four luminaires.
