Swedish revue style production with Robe lights

“Spargrisarna kan rädda världen” (Saving Pigs Can Save The World) is the newest revue style production being staged at the Lorensbergsteatern in Goteborg, Sweden. Produced by Kulturtuben, four actors deliver political satire and critiques of topical issues backed by a 10-piece orchestra. Lighting is designed by Michael Sevholt, the venue’s technical manager and a partner and founding member of Kulturtuben, who has included eight Robe DL4S Profiles and 14 x LEDWash 300s in his rig.

The set - designed by Rolf Allan Håkanson - is mainly lit with conventional fixtures. During the rehearsal period, Sevholt worked on creating a good balance between these and the Robe LED sources. The second half of the show is almost devoid of set pieces, just the musicians and the backdrop behind the performers, so all the lighting is from the LED sources and follow spots.

The DL4Ss and LEDWash 300s were supplied by locally based rental company, KSE. In addition to these, Sevholt’s design incorporates a selection of generics including 2K and 650 W profiles, PAR 64s, 1 and 2K fresnels and AC 1001 cyc floods, all controlled from an AVAB Congo console upgraded to Cobalt which was programmed by Sevholt working closely with Lorensbergsteatern’s chief LX, Annika Tärnström.
