AT FACTORY INTERNATIONAL / AVIVA STUDIOS MANCHESTER, UK
Uli and Thomas went to Manchester to light (the darkest) Dark Noon for another round march 1-7 2024.
The venue is a huge space that fit the piece very well, newly build and well sound proofed. What looked like an arena turned out to function great as a theatre space. Facing the fact that new institutions nowadays invest in LED lighting we had some problems with our completely analogue approach with mainly tungsten Fresnel 1kw and 5kw fixtures, especially because the rental company had not sent any spare bulbs and those turned out to be hard to find in Manchester.
Great fun with the beautiful ensemble from South Africa: Thulani, Bongani, Joe, Barileng, Mandla, Siya and Kaygee.
And the Fix and Foxi team with TUE, ANNETTE, SVANTE AND CLARA!
