Robe BMFLs at Johnny Hallyday shows

Among the first live concerts to be staged in Paris after the November 13 terror attacks were three shows at the Accor Hotels Arena by Johnny Hallyday. French lighting designer Dimitri Vassiliu created a design that featured 36 x Robe BMFL Spot moving lights on the rig which were supplied by lighting contractor Dushow. For the Accor Hotels Arena performances, an additional 20 x BMFL Spots were added to the rig to light the audience.

Vassiliu assembled a creative team which included scenographer Emma Favre and video content producer Peggy M, who added their own ideas to the multi-layered visual equation, which involved moving video screens and scenic elements. Vassiliu was also involved in commissioning of the video content.

The BMFL Spots were positioned on the front and over-audience trusses for lighting the audience and the B-stage in the middle of the room. There was also a ring of them around the deck of the main stage, where they were mounted on different level plinths and used for aerial effects and for skimming low across the audience, involving them in the show.

Lighting and video was run across three consoles - a Hog 4 operated by Vassiliu together with another one run by Stéphane Chiron, and a GrandMA2 light operated by Philippe Marty triggered a Catalyst media server running playback video to the six moving screens and a digital pros arch that surrounded the stage.
