Over 80 Chauvet fixtures selected for “The Entertainers” US tour

To light Akshay Kumar’s Bollywood show “The Entertainers” on its recent US tour, lighting designer Roosevelt Dsouza chose over eighty Chauvet Professional fixtures supplied by AVL Productions. The three-and-a-half hour show features music and dancing interspliced with plenty of dynamic crowd interaction.

Arranging most of his fixtures in a M-shaped overhead truss configuration with three horizontal rows behind it, Dsouza used them to create a variety of looks, coordinated with video images shown on a large center stage LED wall which was flanked by two vertical strips on either side.

Featured in the tour rig were eight Color Strike M motorized strobes positioned in the center of the design. “I used these fixtures to accent big moments”, says Dsouza. The light source came from the middle of the rig and reached out into the audience.

Dsouza engaged the audience throughout the show with blasts of crowd lighting, aerial displays, and bursts of atmospherics including haze and confetti. Adding punch to these effects were the rig’s forty Maverick Storm 4 Profiles.

A group of six Maverick Storm 2 BeamWash fixtures, arranged evenly on the stage left and stage right deck, were used to create crossing patterns. At times, Dsouza went with subtle and elegant monochromatic palettes to convey a sophisticated aura, while at others he let loose with a rainbow of colors, moving dynamically in every direction to conjure up a celebratory atmosphere.

“We had a really great production team”, he notes, naming “Director Ritika Bajaj, sound engineer Ranjeet Singh, show caller Shikha Gupta, video designer Ganesh Gogo, production Elton Dsouza, Rental Inc, Rahul Walia of Touchdown Productions. All of us collaborated closely together.”
