The Colsubsidio Theater in Bogotá modernizes its lighting system with Robe

the 10 Pointe luminaires and 10 Spiider that have been installed have made a big difference in the lighting and visual presentation of the shows that take place in the theater..

the Colsubsidio Roberto Arias Pérez Theatre is a space for shows with capacity for a thousand people that opened in 1981 in the center of Bogotá, city that has become the nucleus of quality live shows, are performing arts performances or cultural and artistic events. The theater is recognized for the high production value and imagination of its shows. They offer a mix of concerts, musicals and classical shows.

recently, the theatre has acquired its first luminaires of Steal. specifically, 10 Point and 10 Spiider that, once installed, are making a huge difference in the lighting and visual presentation of the shows.

The theatre belongs to a large independent company and the acquisition of the new Robe luminaires was part of an overall lighting modernisation that will help improve the technology and type of production..

The improvement also includes several Led luminaires, and before these, they had six older robotics of another brand that were removed as soon as the Pointe and Spiider arrived..

“We wanted the ideal luminaires for concerts and musical theatre shows”, explains the theatre's lighting director, Alfonso Ramos, who has been working there since 1982. “then, we asked for the opinion of several lighting designers to decide what were the best options. He opted for Robe”.

The Colsubsidio Theatre presents on average 10 or 12 show them per month. Some are repeated for a season that can last several weeks and at other times there may be three or four completely different events in a week..

“When I was using traditional rig, the only thing I could do with the lighting was to create a bit of atmosphere.. Now I get to do all that 'basic' work.’ and add multiple layers of lighting and effects. Using these luminaires, I can create a complete show with many dramatic moments and more dynamism for the audience and the artists”, declares Alfonso.

The first lighting designer to use the new Robe was Humberto Hernandez of AHH.. He's a big fan of Robe and always specifies this technology for his shows when he can..

He came to the Colsubsidio Theater this year to light up a Disney-approved production, Beauty and the Beast, and Robe's local distributor, AV Com Colombia, did everything necessary to ensure the luminaires were delivered on time.

Think that spiiders are “very flexible and useful for so many things like creating the atmosphere and adding effects, and the Pointe are ultra-fast and an excellent option to use as a beam or spotlight, as well as for various effects".

In addition, He thinks that another benefit of the new robotics is that they can make the changes between shows much more quickly and more efficiently because the time it took to focus and adjust the lights of the generic structure that they previously used has been greatly reduced..
