Mónica Naranjo concert lit with Robe

At the end of 2020, Spanish singer Mónica Naranjo launched a re-issue of her third studio album “Minage”, which paid tribute to Italian artist Mina. She also played a special concert in front of a live audience - with COVID rules in place - at the Palau de Les Arts in Valencia, Spain.

Lighting designer CaCo García, who has been working with the artist and her management team for around two years, chose to use 66 Robe moving lights to be at the centre of this show, which he helped deliver working closely with video director Alberto Arias. García discussed the moods and ambience that Mónica Naranjo wanted to evoke throughout her performance and then designed lighting together with the set and staging concept that included two large upstage LED screens and several lighting structures. The look had to work equally well live and for cameras as the show was recorded for streaming.

García used 42 x LEDBeam 150s, 12 x Pointes, and 12 x LEDWash 300s. Thirty-six of the LEDBeam 150s were rigged in three 3 x 4 matrix grids on three upstage structures, two flanking the screens and one centrally in between, where they were used for dramatic back light and silhouetting. These luminaires were a vital part of the scenography and set architecture and also ‘doubled’ as a light wall. The other twelve fixtures were distributed between the front truss for full stage washes and on low boom stands in the downstage corners for front and cross stage washing, with two on the front lip of the stage as footlights and to colour and texture the floor.

The 12 x Pointes were on the front and rear trusses and the deck. They helped create multiple looks and effects, anything from throwing beams of light out into the audience to projecting gobos and prisms over the artist. The LEDWash 300+s provided additional low level cross stage washing, and those on the front truss were used for additional ‘TV lights’ and also to highlight the cloth backdrop. Joining the Robe lights on the rig were two Robe Haze 500 FT Pro hazers. 

CaCo García programmed the show himself. Lighting equipment was supplied by rental company USE Sonido. It is also intended to take the show on tour to different venues as and when public performances start again in Spain this year.
