Sebastián Yatra shows lit with large Elation rig

A full complement of Elation luminaires gave a closing to Colombian singer Sebastián Yatra’s tour earlier this year in Mexico City, where he shared the stage with several artists, including Mexican singer Carlos Rivera. Lighting designer Chris Penso was responsible for lighting Yatra’s tour.

For two special performances at the renowned Auditorio Nacional in Mexico City, the amount of lighting gear was enhanced. At Penso’s disposal were 66 Chorus Line 16 LED pixel bars, 36 Rayzor 760 LED wash/beam lights, 34 Smarty Hybrid and 28 Smarty Max moving heads, 10 Fuze Wash Z350 single source par moving heads, 24 ACL 360 Matrix LED moving head panels, 20 Protron 3K Color strobes and 12 DTW Blinder 700 IP. Yatra worked with video engineer and content creator Williams Hincapie on the tour.

The LD reveals his favorite Elation lights to be the Chorus Line 16, positioned above the LED screen in the center of the stage with others in musician platforms and on the stage proscenium; and the Rayzor 760, which were mounted in pairs on three parallel structures to project general washes or narrow beams.

Vertical ladders and diagonal podiums on both sides of the LED screen housed the Smarty Hybrid luminaires from which both gobos and defined beams of light were projected, as well as wide washes of color.

The Smarty Max hybrid moving heads were hung on two horizontal structures and used as side lights while at floor level Fuze Wash Z350 LED moving heads had the role of supporting with fill light onto the musicians and Yatra himself. In a traditional look, DTW Blinder 700 IP fixtures were mounted on a front structure to light the audience and at times generate strobe effects.

Three circular arrangements of ACL 360 Matrix were placed facing down and during intimate moments of the show were used as the main light onto the singer. The Protron 3K Color RGBW LED strobes were distributed at the top of the entire assembly, both in the vertical grids and horizontal structures.
