Robe fixtures for ‘Voice van Vlaanderen’

The fifth season of the ‘Voice van Vlaanderen’ (Voice of Flanders) was staged in Hall 8 of the Ghent Expo centre, with show design once again delivered by a team from design practice Arf & Yes, led by company owner and founder, Ignace D’Haese. Arf & Yes provided the full show and venue technical design package for producers Endemol, including stage, set, lighting and video, plus the layout accommodating a large main performance stage and 3000 live audience.

The lighting rig included 86 x Robe moving lights: 52 x Pointes, 30 LEDWash 800s and four LEDWash 300s, which, together with other lights enabled Ignace and his team including lighting programmer/operator Timothy De Mets to create the show environment.

Onstage were three massive LED screens that could be raised and lowered to reveal or conceal the house band as needed, depending on the act. Both lighting and video schemes had to look different for every artist and song - up to 18 sessions in the first two episodes.

The Pointes were dotted over the back and mid trusses above stage, with some positioned above the audience, all used for the main lighting effects and accents. The LEDWash 1200s were also distributed in the roof trusses over the audience and used for washing and colouring the general areas.

Having multiple point-source lights ensured any ‘black holes’ could be filled for the 12 camera shoot, directed for the series by Maryse van den Wyngaert. Lighting was directed this season by Marco Pauwels and operated by Arf & Yes’s Timothy De Mets. Video was coordinated by Jonas Weyn, Olivier Demoustier and Tijs Coene for Arf & Yes. Arf & Yes, which is based in Ghent, also provides technical production for the French speaking version, ‘Voice Belgique’. Lighting equipment for the ‘Voice van Vlaanderen’ was supplied by Lier based Phlippo Showlight.
