I Art Nouveau transforms with Chauvet Professional Well STX 360 fixtures from AudioMaster

The Parisian period of painter-illustrator Alfons (Alphonse) Mucha’s life serves as the inspiration for I Art Nouveau, a visual experience from the creators of the show Vivaldianno, led by Michal Dvorak, a member of the Czech rock band Lucie.

The 90-minute I Art Nouveau show takes 21st century audiences at Prague’s Hybernia Theatre on a journey back in time to Art Nouveau’s golden age in Paris. There is music, dance, animation, acrobatics - all of them seamlessly blended together to create an immersive sense of a lost world.

Lighting designer Lukas Patzenhauer uses a collection of twenty-four Chauvet Professional Well STX 360 tubular fixtures supplied by AudioMaster CZ a.s. The battery operated Well STX fill several roles in I Art Nouveau’s stage - arranged in a variety of configurations depending on the performance, the pixel mappable RGB fixtures create a colorful geometric backdrop to fit the theme of each particular act.

For one dance the fixtures may be arranged horizontally, only to be reconfigured vertically for the next. Symmetrical configurations that define the stage at one point may give way to asymmetrical arrangements, depending on the mood of the moment. At times, the fixtures are held by the dancers as they become a dynamic part of their choreography.

“During the performance, we create a luminous scene from the tubes, where they are in a different position or formation for each painting”, says Patzenhauer. “This flexibility was especially crucial during frequent scene changes, when tubes were used not only as part of a static scene, but also as a dynamic element in the dances.”
