L’Orage Perform in Style with CHAUVET Professional Fixtures

This fall, the Arco d’Augusto in Italy served as an evocative setting for a concert by the Italian folk band L’Orage, as they performed on a stage set up under the spacious arch. Adding to the atmosphere of the concert was a Federico Seguri lighting design that cast a glow on the band and the ancient monument by using a collection of CHAUVET Professional Maverick fixtures, supplied by Fumasoli Audio & Lights Rental.

Seguri deployed 20 Maverick MK2 Wash fixtures to light the arch. Positioned on the ground around the arch, the intense RGBW moving LED fixtures animated the monument’s architectural features by casting sections of its surface in brightness, while leaving other areas in relative darkness.

Using the Maverick MK2 Wash to change the color of the arch, Seguri enhanced the dynamic effect of his design even further. The variety of colored washes he used also worked to reflect the varied moods of the eclectic band’s music.

As for the band itself, Seguri accented their performance with the help of 12 Maverick MK2 Spot fixtures positioned behind the group. Arranged on cases of varying heights, the 440W moving LED fixtures were used for backlighting, specials and aerial effects aimed at the roof of the arch and the open sky beyond.The Maverick MK2 Spot’s wide 13° to 37° zoom range allowed the coverage area of the backlighting to change, adding to the variety of looks during the concert. Meanwhile, the unit’s CMY + CTO color mixing provided balanced coordinated looks with the wash on the monument itself.
