Show director, Sergio Carrubba (also the director of Danny Rose), came to ETC Paris with his concept Maximage Experience, a system based on 'total immersion' that he has developed with associate Paola Ciucci in which the stage, actors and audience are all surrounded by "dynamic giant image projection".
For Giulietta e Romeo, Carrubba has transposed this experience to popular opera by "enriching it with the charm and mystery of three-dimensional projected sets" fusing his passion for the two very different visual art forms of theatre and film.
The two Christie 25K machines are positioned differently at each venue to maximise impact. They are often side by side, but their distances apart can vary greatly, as can the throw distances - from 38 to 72m to date - so ETC has supplied a full range of objective lenses to deal with this.
