Stefan Zeromski Theater equipped with Elation lighting

Following a four-year renovation, the historic Stefan Zeromski Theater in Kielce, Poland, has regained its former splendor, with modern technical solutions providing designers and audiences a greater visual experience. The theater has emerged as one of Poland’s most technologically advanced dramatic stages, with Elation lighting fixtures playing a key role in shaping its modern artistic identity.

Founded in 1879, the theater is one of the oldest in Poland, staging both classic and contemporary plays, and other theater-related events. It recently underwent a complete reconstruction and expansion that balances heritage preservation with new stage capabilities.

Elation’s Polish partner PS Teatr was entrusted with integrating and implementing the new stage technology. In the theater’s Grand Stage and Chamber Stage, PS Teatr integrated a flexible lighting system anchored by an extensive array of Elation luminaires. The company additionally installed and configured the venue’s power infrastructure, stage automation, curtain system, immersive sound setup, and multimedia technology.

Given its scale, the Grand Stage required powerful moving head fixtures with a range of effects to achieve the desired creative flexibility. The centerpiece of this transformation includes Elation Fuze Max Profile and Fuze Max Spot luminaires (twelve total). Six Artiste Picasso framing profile luminaires complement the system. These are complemented by thirty Elation KL Fresnel 8 warm-white floodlights. To enhance visual depth and color flexibility, 36 Elation KL PAR FC lights and ten Sixbar 1000 LED bars have been deployed for washes and color effects.

On the smaller Chamber Stage, the lighting versatility theme continues with ten Fuze SFX spot FX moving heads, providing transitions between spot effects and wash functions - a luminaire for the venue’s more intimate performances. “Elation fixtures offer the balance of power, flexibility, and silent operation needed for a venue like Zeromski Theater”, says Dominik Drobisz, who supervised the work on behalf of PS Teatr.

The lighting system’s signal distribution uses Obsidian Netron series nodes and splitters, offering flexibility across multiple performance spaces. Control racks are equipped with six Obsidian EN12, one RDM10, and four DMX 10-5 splitters. Twenty EN4/EP4 nodes support the local DMX/ETH conversion. The distribution system, based on sACN parallel to the DMX protocol, is scalable.
