Robe supports Offer Nissim at Pride Tel Aviv

When one of his regular clients, DJ Offer Nissim, recently headlined the Tel Aviv Pride Festival, Israeli lighting designer Elad Cohen specified a large Robe rig including MegaPointes, Spiiders and Esprites.

The festival, which celebrated all aspects of LGBTQ culture and life, was staged in Ganei Yehoshua Park in north Tel Aviv, and was the culmination of two days of one of the biggest events of the year in Israel. “We wanted to make a massive impact with the show and the whole performance”, says Cohen.

The 72-metre-wide stage and set which featured substantial LED surfaces was designed by a creative team comprising the Rubi & Gal Studio and art director Shimon Shirazi for producers Vivo, and built by Stage Design, while the technical production - lighting and sound - was supplied by Argaman System and video by Clean LED, and 470 metres of neon flex from LED Art.

Fourteen of the fifty-six MegaPointes were located behind the set LED screens for blow-through effects, with the rest dotted around the stage floor and used for the bursting gobo and laser-like beam looks that defined Nissim’s set.

The twenty-four Esprites were rigged along the top at the back of the set structure, for shooting down onto the stage and sweeping out across the audience area. Cohen also used thirty Robe Spiiders which were deployed on the stage floor where their zoom feature was used for lighting all the scenic elements and props.

Offer Nissim plays a completely distinct set for each show, so there are always some elements of surprise for Cohen who has worked for the artist for some time. The key, he says, is to take the music and transform it into lighting that combines with visuals and audio, producing a new and unique experience every time.

“Each track has its own story and relating that narrative live involves me, FOH engineer Nimrod ‘Crovi’ Dobuvicz and the video/visuals created by Rubi Saati and Or Nadav, and all of us collaborate very closely with the artist”, states Cohen who operated the show, which included other lights, using a GrandMA2 console. Lasers were supplied by Omri Silver and pyro by Mega Night.
