Cesare Cremonini tours with Ayrton Mamba and Cobra

Cesare Cremonini, one of Italy’s most prominent artists, with a solo career spanning more than twenty years, is currently on tour with a lighting design featuring Ayrton Mamba and Cobra laser-sourced lighting fixtures. The “Cremonini Live25” tour comprises thirteen sold-out shows in some of Italy’s largest stadiums, with multiple dates across cities including Rome, Milan, Bologna and Bari.

Mamo Pozzoli, the tour’s lighting designer and a long-time Cremonini collaborator, created a lighting plot characterized by multiple moving circular structures and a strong focus on graphic fixtures. Set within this design, dominated by a massive ultra-wide LED wall, Pozzoli selected and positioned a number of beam units, namely 16 Ayrton Mamba and 48 Ayrton Cobra fixtures, all of which are situated at stage floor level.

The Mamba fixtures in Pozzoli’s design form an upstage line along the lower front edge of the screen, while the Cobras form a circular perimeter around the B-stage, positioned at the end of the catwalk which stretches into the centre of the audience. “Within a layout dominated by a strong video presence and distinctive geometric shapes, my focus was on harmonizing all the visual elements”, says Pozzoli. “My aim was to select lighting fixtures that could both interact flexibly within the overall design and stand out as independent protagonists when needed.”

“It’s clear that the ability to combine precision tracking with dynamic, creative expression is becoming increasingly essential for delivering impactful and immersive stage experiences”, he adds. “For this tour, I aimed to redefine the Cobras’ role by employing them in a non-traditional uplight configuration, exploring new creative potentials.”

Some of these creative effects included the use of the Mambas during the acoustic set to achieve a combined prism effect, backlit and aimed at the piano on the B-stage from a distance of at least 50 m, virtually at floor level. Additional impactful looks were created using the Cobras in their natural home position to deliver upward-focused beams from the floor. “By combining endless pan with tilt movements, and thanks to the circular fixture layout around the small stage, I could use them to generate complex interlaced fan shapes with high visual dynamics”, explains Pozzoli.

The Ayrton Mamba and Cobra fixtures were supplied as part of the full lighting and sound touring system by Italy-based rental company Agorà.
