Dance, music, folklore: Circus World uses grandMA

Thursday, August 23, 2007 || MA Lighting

Circus World is a Slovak touring non-traditional music and dance show reflecting modern music, dances and interpretations of folklore. One grandMA full-size, one grandMA video media server and twelve MA Digital Touring Dimmer racks are used to light the show.

The project is really sophisticated so we had to utilize devices able to work with any other device. Also high reliability of the components was necessary. Based upon these criteria, the MA equipment was chosen, said Martin Kubnka, director of Q99 The comfortable programming and playback functions as well as the clone-function make the grandMA our favourite console.

Amongst others the lighting rig features 16 x Martin Mac 600, 8 x Martin Mac 500, 2 x Robert Juliat Cyrano and 16 x Arri Studio 1kW. The show is created in co-production of SLUK (Slovak Folk Artistic Ensemble) and Q-99 which delivered the lighting equipment as well as stage and sound technology. Peter Litomerick is the director, Peter Antalk, production chief manager. Martin Kubnka is responsible for the effects and technical equipment.
