In 2016, Eventproduction Poland took the International Festival of Language and Culture on the road to 17 different countries. Charged with handling technical production for all events, Eventproduction’s lighting designers, Michał Mazurkiewicz and Piotr Pońsko, deployed a large number of Claypaky fixtures.

 

The festival is an annual event celebrating the diversity of cultural heritages across the world, giving young people a platform on which to showcase songs in their native language, accompanied by ethnic dancing. This year, 160 nations took part as the tour visited Thailand, Brazil, Morocco, Indonesia, Ethiopia, Australia, Senegal, South Africa, USA, Kazakhstan, Kirgizstan, Romania, Germany and Belgium. Around 12,000 people attended at the ISS Dome in Dusseldorf, one of the biggest shows in terms of audience and amount of lighting used, and when the show reached Australia, it was staged at the Sydney Opera House.

 

This was the third time Eventproduction staff had worked at the ISS in Germany. “We know the venue and the local staff here well,” says the company’s technical production manager, Piotr Tomaszewski. “We also had the pleasure of presenting guest artist, Eurovision song contest winner Jamala, at this venue.” For the German show, Eventproduction hired its lights from Niclen, which also supplied the Belgium show. A total of 59 A.leda B-Eye K20 beam lights and 36 Mythos hybrids, as well as 58 Sharpy, 49 Sharpy Wash 330 and 38 Alpha Spot HPE 1500 lights, were used.

 

The Australian show was another high point of the festival tour. “We had a very tight schedule, with only 24 hours for the whole production including load in, setup, rehearsal, show and load out. We did some virtual preprogramming for the Sydney Opera House,” says Tomaszewski. The Sharpy Wash was chosen to light the back and sides of the stage, again complimented by the use of Mythos.
