ChamSys console used for 100th anniversary celebration of Third Silesian Uprising

Michal Hyra was chosen to light the grand finale of the two-month long celebration of Tryptyk powstanczy - pamiec ziemi in Bytom, Poland, which marked the 100th anniversary of the Third Silesian Uprising.

Hyra’s lighting design engrossed the large crowd gathered in Bytom’s historic Market Square as well as those watching the livestream of one of the most important events in Poland. His design was focused on the traditional Polish folk dancers on stage. Later in the evening, when the initial performers were replaced by a rock band, he created a tour-like show.

Hyra used a ChamSys Magic MQ 500 Stadium console to run his 8-universe show. “Due to heavy rain, we had to program the whole show with only a reduced number of dancers, our director Karolina Widera and our LD Pawel Murlik present. We had to listen to a partial rehearsal from the day before to figure things out.”

“Since we didn’t have a real dress rehearsal, a whole bunch of stuff like strips and front lights had to be busked outside of the main cue stack”, he adds. “Not to mention that second part of the whole show was a rock concert, which I busked.”
