Et Cetera has two halls - a main hall with a capacity of 650 and a smaller hall of 150. The Theatre designers wanted to fit out the new halls with the latest in stage technology, including moving lights. They chose ETC's Source Four Revolutions - 48 of them - setting a record for the most Revolutions in a single European venue.
The new automated fixtures have been hung throughout the theatre in order to light every aspect of the stage, doing away with the refocusing work of dozens of conventional luminaires on many positions. Several of the Revolutions are located in the seating area, so the audience can see them in action during performances.
Aside from the Revolution fixtures, Et Cetera also has 176 Source Four conventional luminaires, 112 Source Four PARs and 48 Source Four PARNels. The main hall also has four ETC Sensor+ dimmer racks and an ETC Unison CMEi architectural control system, which controls the lighting of a large chandelier suspended above the audience.
Light Power Design (LPD), a theatre-technology distributor based out of Moscow, handled the lighting installation for Et Cetera.
