ChamSys Helps Crt Birsa Balance Demands Lighting Popevka Song Competition

There is an almost mystical power to idioms. Like some secret shared within a tightly knit circle of friends, these impossible-to-translate words and phrases endow a language with its distinct character – one that only those immersed in its culture can fully appreciate. “Popevka,” is such a word in Slovenian. A form of music interwoven tightly around this nation’s folk traditions; its deepest meaning evaporates once it’s decoupled from its cultural roots. Lighting Designer, Crt Birsa can’t translate the power of Popevka into words, but he did a brilliant job conveying it in light recently when he lit a TV program of that name using his ChamSys MagicQ MQ80 and a PC Wing, despite having to balance time and deadline issues.Read More »ChamSys Helps Crt Birsa Balance Demands Lighting Popevka Song Competition
