J Alvarez show lit with over 150 Chauvet fixtures
Lighting designer Will Rivera Carrasquillo chose Chauvet Professional fixtures to illuminate Puerto Rican reggaeton singer J Alvarez’s concerts, and the fusion of music and light was evident when Alvarez took his global “Luxury” tour to Ushuaia Ibiza this summer for the I Love Reggaeton Festival.
“Color contrasts on this show were based more on the name of the tour, ‘Luxury’”, explains Carrasquillo. “We’re talking about luxury, gold, diamonds, and intense colors like amber and white. We used a lot of strong colors like reds, blues, and magenta, which are perfect for creating that impactful atmosphere with the details of the hits and the intensity of the transitions. Then, spotlights are mainly used to highlight positions.”
Carrasquillo used more than 100 Color Strike M motorized strobe-washes, along with Colorado PXL Curve 12 motorized battens, and Colorado PXL Bar 12 units. Playing off dramatically against this color-scape was intense white light from the rig’s forty Strike Array 4 blinders. All of the fixtures are from Chauvet Professional and were supplied by Fluge.
Flown on truss fingers that spread almost across the entire width of the domed outdoor stage, the Color Strike M bathed the entire area in vibrant colors. The star and his band were often bathed in monochromatic palettes.
The PXL batten fixtures were flown in an arch that rimmed the downstage area, while the Strike Array 4 blinders were arranged on the uppermost level of truss above them. By turning these two groups of fixtures on and off at different times, Carrasquillo gave the stage different looks to keep things fresh throughout the performance while reflecting the mood of each song.
Looking back on the Ibiza show, Carrasquillo thanks J Alvarez and his colleague Robert Santiago and his team for “providing me with the great toys to play with”.
