Denso shapes stage for Annalisa tour with Chauvet’s PXL Curve 12

Italian pop singer Annalisa’s recent “But I Am Fire” tour was enriched by an energetic lighting design created by Denso Studio, featuring forty Chauvet Professional Colorado PXL Curve 12 motorized battens from ZaLight Srl.

The design was in harmony with the emotional crescendo of an extensive setlist that took fans on a musical journey. This transcendent passage was complimented by visuals and choreographies that celebrated the primordial element of fire, articulated in three distinct moments - fire itself, the river, and the tiger.

“At the base of the show there was the union between vortex and fire, stylized in a ‘volcano’ pierced by a circular portal”, says Jacopo Ricci, Creative Director and Production Designer of Denso Studio. “The lighting design echoed the recurring shapes used by the scenography and consisted of two ‘V’ trusses that followed the outline of the triangular stage, pushing the system ‘inside’ the first rows of the audience and creating two front rows that gave maximum visibility for the entire depth of the stage.”

The PXL Curve battens were arranged on the extreme edges of the triangular stage, on feeders lowered so as not to obstruct the view of the audience. “In this way we used them both as effects and as a finish to the edge of the stage”, continues Ricci, who has used the PXL fixtures in the summer for an outdoor production. “Some of the most interesting looks were those that played with the individual tilts of the bars, creating geometries that were not possible before.”

Working with lighting Programmer Vittorio Campagnolo, Ricci created a variety of shapes with the PXL battens. “One of the most interesting aspects to explore in programming together with Vittorio, in addition to the power of the single chip, is the whole control part of individual zoom and tilt”, he details. “This allowed us to build very complex and articulated effects that had that pop language we were looking for in a show of this type.”

Ricci was also supported by set designer Luca Ascioti, visual director of Unolab Studio, as well as laser programmer Matteo D’Addio and lighting crew chief Gabriele d’Agruma. Production was by Friends & Partners, with Mario Zappa being the executive producer and Giovanni Chinnici serving as the production manager. Evento Musica Srl (management) and MOD Srl (service) were also involved in the shows.
