PixelLines tour with ElisaItalian born singer-songwriter Elisa, a multi-platinum award winning star in her native country – recently delighted 20,000 fans at the Arena di Verona, with a stunning debut performance of her

Mechanical Dream show - before embarking on her first tour of the USA and Canada.

32 PixelLine 1044s featured in show designer Mamo Pozzoli’s lighting rig, hung side by side in groups of two - creating a giant frame around the whole set. The show infused many art forms including dance, cinema, poetry and music – resulting in a stunning performance portraying the two aspects of the name of the tour - mechanical and dream.

Pozzoli explains: “I needed a powerful LED fixture that would help me transpose the lighting language of the two souls of the show concept. The 1044s have got that unmistakable industrial character and that brilliant personality - able to combine fast graphics and smooth pulses. I always use PixelRange products – and over the years, I’ve never be disappointed with my choice”.

Lights and visuals gradually reveal the details of the set inspired by an industrial archaeological look mixed with futuristic elements. The lighting plot follows this style, with a geometrical and repetitive approach. The result is a dynamic deliberately choreographed performance of two parts: A mechanical part, filled with rhythms, electronic sounds and reality - and a dream part, an imaginary dreamlike poetical side.

The show was created and controlled by a GrandMA that Pozzoli programmed and operated. Nuovo Service is the lighting company and the PixelLines were supplied by Italian rental partner Musical Box Rent.
