Juan Luis Guerra on tour with Robe fixtures

Juan Luis Guerra recently kicked off his 2019 ‘Literal Juan Luis Guerra 4.40 Tour Grandes Éxitos’ with a complete Robe specification for the lighting rig, which has been designed by Daniel Charif and is being operated and directed on the road by Emmanuel Ferry, who also programmed.

Bogota’s new Movistar Arena provided the second stop on the tour, and Emmanuel Ferry had nearly the full complement of Robe moving lights supplied by the house technical providers - Columbian rental company Linea Estrategica - at his disposal.

Guerra’s touring specification includes 112 x Robe fixtures, a mix of BMFL Spots, BMFL WashBeams, MegaPointes and Spiiders. These are at the hub of the rig, augmented with around 75 other lights including more wash lights, strobes and 2-lite blinders.

The fixtures had to cut through a large expanse of 6 mm LED screen which isn’t just at the back; all the stage risers, set and steps are also fronted with LED, and they also have two side screens.

The lights in Bogota were rigged across three ‘goalpost’-style trusses onstage and a front ‘advance’ truss. The goalposts created a shrinking perspective look and offered up three sets of trussing side legs, ideal for hanging wash fixtures like the Spiiders in cross-lighting positions.

Ferry and Charif used a ChamSys MQ80 console. Video directors were Tabare Blanchard and Dennis Lozado.
