Robe illuminates “Nuova Scena” launch party

The latest series of Italian talent show “Nuova Scena - Rhythm + Flow Italia”, which scouts out some of the best rising star rappers, kicked off with a launch party staged at Milan live music venue and nightspot Fabrique, complete with a lightshow created, programmed and delivered by Cattaneo Cattaneo of design studio Cue s.r.l.

Fabrique has a Robe moving light rig installed, featuring over 150 moving lights - a mix of Fortes, MegaPointes, LEDBeam 150s, Spiiders, TetraXs, Tetra2s, Paintes and Pointes all supplied by Robe’s Italian distributor RM Multimedia through the venue’s resident in-house technical provider, For Sound.

Cattaneo Cattaneo used all these fixtures, and additional LEDBeam 350s further augmented the lighting rig with twenty-four Robe SVB1s and four HolyPatts, supplied as “specials”, together with all the additional technical production needed to make this event rock, also supplied by the rental division of For Sound.

Cattaneo was asked to design lights for this launch event by creative agency La Tarma. The evening was essentially a party with DJ sets plus additional live performances by “Nuova Scena” contestants and judges. Some of the scenic elements onstage - e.g. the judge’s desk - were inspired by the TV show. A large upstage LED screen was flanked by two smaller side stage LED screens and goal-post trusses, and all the event’s technical production was co-ordinated by Live Nation.

Cattaneo has lit multiple shows in Fabrique, and he is a big advocate for Robe products and has been using them since the early days of the XT and AT series, way back when the brand originally launched. Always interested in new tech, he jumped at the chance to use the SVOPatts and HolyPatts, both for the first time, to assist in shaping this show.

The SVB1s were positioned on the upstage/overstage trusses. The four HolyPatts were used for creating a specific texture of background light with very distinctive characteristics behind the DJ and judges - something that looked and felt “iconic and radiant, but simultaneously with ‘hollow’ or open areas to let other light beams cut through”, as Cattaneo puts it.
