Dutch designers Guy Weizman and Roni Haver, who own Dutch venue Club Guy & Roni, have created simultaneous live and online productions of Tchaikovsky’s Swan Lake with help from 18 COLORado Batten Q15 fixtures from CHAUVET Professional.
The designers rely on the IP65-rated RGBW linear fixtures to produce magical shades of pink and blue that underscore the myriad and varying moods during this eclectic production. The show‘s lighting designer Maarten van Rossem arranges the battens in an array of configurations, such having them built into a fictitious 8×8-meter swimming pool in one scene.
During each show, the live audience (which is greatly limited as a result of COVID-19 restrictions) walks from scene to scene. As they do, they must make choices, which determine the course of events. Meanwhile, the online audience, which is watching the story unfold at the same time, also must come to decisions that affect the show’s outcome.
