Designers Create Nuanced Looks for ‘Billy Elliot’ in Spain using Chauvet Ovation Fixtures

Barcelona, Spain – The Elton John, Lee Hall coming of age musical Billy Elliot is the stuff of dreams, not just how they uplift, inspire, and define an individual, but also how they run up against (and sometimes prevail over) harsh realities. The story brilliantly juxtaposes divergent forces, such as ballet lessons and picket line battles, as it traces its young protagonist’s journey of self-discovery during tumultuous times.

Reflecting the deep sea of emotions that run through this story in light, requires a design that is not only colorful and aesthetically balanced, but also subtle and nuanced in its portrayal of different moods. Carlos Torrijos of Fábrica de Luz, and Juan Gomez-Cornejo provided just that for a current production of the musical presented by SOM PRODUCE at the Nuevo Teatro Alcalá in Madrid and the Teatro Victòria in Barcelona. Here is a video showing off the lighting design for Billy Elliot in Barcelona:
