In the center of the arena, a 15-meter square stage was illuminated using 8 Acclaim Flex Tube RGB LED strips and surrounded by 42 Elation SixBar 1000 IP battens washing the stage from all angles. Trimmed at a height of twelve meters, fast and compact Smarty Hybrid moving heads along with Fuze Wash Z350 and Fuze Par Z120 IP single source par moving head luminaires highlighted the dozen artists who starred in the show.
