Robe continues performance trilogy at LDI

Robe looks back on one of its busiest and most dynamic LDI (Lighting Design International) expos to date in Las Vegas, winning two awards, one presented by PLSN magazine for the T1 series and the ‘Best Creative Use of Light’ as chosen by the LDI organizers.

The second installment of its #ReturnToTheFuture live show highlighted Robe’s latest LED and moving light technologies including the just-launched Esprite and the new Tetra2 moving LED batten. Being part of a performance trilogy that had been launched at PLASA London two months earlier, #ReturnToTheFuture was inspired by the iconic ‘Back To The Future’ movie franchise.

The 7.5-minute performance played five times a day and had an original DeLorean MMC12 as the set centrepiece, six dancers and around 200 Robe lights - including Esprites, Tetras, T1s, SilverScans, MegaPointes, Spiiders, Tarrantulas, SuperSpikies, LEDBeam150s and PixelPatts.

These were rigged in the roof and all around the sides of the double-decked booth. The spacey show included fog and flame jet special effects and a water feature. Drapes for all areas of the booth which included separate meeting and demo areas were all designed around the #ReturnToTheFuture garage/laboratory theme.

The custom-built laboratory reactor prop, built for the first part of the trilogy revealed at PLASA in London, was shipped to Las Vegas for the show including its retro 1980s button/meter panel displays and bubble tube plutonium rods.

Five hundred and twelve lighting cues were programmed on an Avolites Arena console and run to timecode from the soundtrack, utilizing 24 DMX universes. An Arkaos Stage Server was used to run video content to the screens around the booth and to map pixels in the Tetra2s, Spiiders, Tarrantulas and mapped video on the reactor.

In addition to the main show space, a separate meeting area ajoined and a black box Studio was set up for silent lightshows/product demonstrations (delivered via wireless headsets).

The #ReturnToTheFuture show was produced by Robe’s creative team led by Nathan Wan and Andy Webb working closely with the international exhibition crew and crew from Robe North America. The live show was alternated with a VOG (Voice of God) product presentation.
