Elation Fuze and KL highlight “The Twist Years” at Paris’ Eiffel Tower Theatre

“The Twist Years” at the Eiffel Tower Theatre in Paris follows a group of young people who traverse the moral and social revolutions of the tumultuous 1960s through some of that decade’s formative music. Recounted via music classics of the era, from French and international artists, all songs are presented live beneath an Elation rig of Fuze Profile and KL Profile FC luminaires.

Boris Jacob from Elation’s French distributor Best Audio & Lighting handled lighting design on the project. He used some of the Fuze Profiles as keylighting to illuminate the artists’ faces using the built in framing blades and color temperature control with the remaining Fuze Profiles set on stage to project gobos and cut out scenery elements.

Atmospheric haze and mid-air projection canopy came courtesy of a Therma Tour 600 from Magmatic atmospheric effects. Producing a fine, long-lasting haze, a water-based fluid was used to allow for total protection of the eight artists’ vocal chords, as well those of the accompanying musicians and technical crew. The 350 W Therma Tour 600 creates an odorless haze effect that leaves no residue.

Stemming from the early 1900s, the Eiffel Tower Theatre was renovated in 2016 and reopened in 2017. Due to its historical heritage and a varied program of musical shows, comedy, and plays, it has managed to find a place among the pantheon of Parisian theaters. “The Twist Years” will be back at the Eiffel Tower Theatre in October 2024 and will be touring in 2025.
