Lighting designer Sune Verdier of b-ql.dk and scenographer Benjamin La Cour collaborated to produce the lighting aesthetic for a production of Green Day's “American Idiot” rock musical staged at Den Grå Hal (The Grey Hall) in the Christiania area of Copenhagen, Denmark.

 

They chose Robe moving lights - DL7S Profiles, DL4S Profiles and Spiider LED wash beams - to be at the core of the lighting, which was developed as a co-design for the show. Verdier had the idea to rig 8 x DL7s and 8 Spiiders a side in two rows of four, offset about a metre back from the front of the set frame. These side lights were the workhorses of the rig and were used in almost every scene.

 

The lower row of DL7Ss each side provided all the essential shin-buster lighting effects. It was originally planned to have specific fixtures for this task, but they were dropped to maintain the integrity and hard lines of the stage space. The DL7S Profile zoom helped to successfully achieve similar results with the luminaires in these low offstage positions.

 

The 11 x DL4S were in a line across an upstage truss, used for moody, sinister back lighting. The DL4S’s high upstage were used to provide a concealed lightsource and shafts poking through the slits when the flats were hanging fully vertical. Sune Verdier used one of his own GrandMA2 light consoles. In addition to controlling all the stage lighting and set LEDs, he was running the two travellators, which were DMX’d.
