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

Barcelona, SpainThe 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.
