Indochine

When Nicola Sirkis and his band do something, they do it right! 
For the closing show of Indochine’s “13 Tour”, over 50 000 fans came to Lille to experience the immersive show of the mythical band. 

PRG was chosen as the technical partner for this production, providing light, video, Intercom and live caption of the concert. 
 
A 750m² LED screen, the eye catcher on stage

Thomas Bellenger, Cutback Artistic Director is especially delighted about the exceptionally large LED screen: “the main challenge is finding that perfect balance with the lighting, the great interaction that we have achieved here really enriches the visual aspect of the show”. 
The extraordinary dimensions of the screen were used to their fullest advantage with meticulously designed content for which the 6mm pitch of the LED ensured crystal clear and sharp images and a high quality caption.  

1400 fixtures light up the sky

The numbers can only give an indication of the vast array of infrastructure creating an overwhelming result: 758 GLP X4, 34 GLP X4S, 157 Mythos, 143 Sharpy Wash 330, 50 Solaris Flare, 34 GLP X4S, 5 Bad Boy PRG GroundControl LongThrow and 20 Scenius Unico fixtures. 

Synchronization being key, the 700 + lighting fixtures on stage and another 700 in the ceiling & in rest of the venue were perfectly aligned. Jean-Christophe Aubrée, the lighting designer praises the GLP-range “They are small and easy to install. For this amount of lighting fixtures, they allowed for the lightest possible structure and guaranteed a simultaneous effect over the whole ceiling and a immediate reaction, without offsets”

PRG, #OneTeam 

With a very challenging, limited load-in time and almost 100 tons of materials to be hung from the ceiling, this project has been exemplary of what PRG France is capable of delivering. No less than 100 experts worked together on the peak moments of the installation. 

Materials were brought to Lille from different PRG warehouses across Europe and specialists from the different neighbouring markets joined the local knowhow of PRG France to build one ‘dream team’ for this production, that completed the set-up in only 36 hours, explains Antoine d’Halluin, Project Manager of PRG France. 

And it is this human aspect that is especially appreciated by our clients and partners. As Stéphane Desch, Production Director puts it: “It was easy to work with PRG for their executional power, both in materials and human assets. The team works very effectively and is perfectly prepared, all is thought through and nothing is left unconsidered”.
