CARTHAGE, Tunisia – The 46th International Festival of Carthage took place over a six-week period this summer in the open-air Carthage Roman Theatre. Sybel Light and Sound supported the series of performances with lighting gear that included SGM lighting fixtures. LD Elyes Guizani worked with Festival of Carthage contractors to light Seal, Johnny Clegg and Héléne Ségara; Arabic artists Sabeh Fakhri, Lotfi Bouchnak and Zied Gharsa; dance troupe Fire of Anatolia; the French circus Mana; and performances by magicians Prince of Illusion, Erix Slogan, and Gilles Arthur.
Sybel Light and Sound has relied upon SGM products since the company was formed in 1993 and has used the SGM brand with the Festival of Carthage since 2001.
For this year's festival, Sybel provided 22 Palco 3 LED fixtures, 12 Giotto Spot 400 moving heads, 12 Idea Wash 300s and 12 Idea Spot 300s. These were designed into a generic rig, with the lighting for each show programmed according to the specific needs.
"The Palcos and Giottos are ideal because of the wide range of color and beautiful palette, which can be easily customized for the different shows," said Marianne Södersten, marketing director of Sybel Light and Sound. "The LED technology offers not only a great flexibility, but the fixtures consume less energy and do not generate heat. Those attributes make them particularly attractive in the eyes of a festival organizer."
