Gear
Speakers: Luzia makes use of an L-Acoustics KARA II system set up “in the round” with a KS21 subwoofer system in the center, augmented with extra fills of L-Acoustics A15 at specific locations. The audio crew put everything into a 3D CAD model and ran the proposed system through L-Acoustics’ Soundvision software.
Show Details
Luzia — A Waking Dream of Mexico, staged for a seven-week run at London’s Royal Albert Hall, blends a mythic Mexican theme with acrobatic performances and visual splendor. Along with a live band and “lots of different musicians and instruments,” Sergiy Zhytnikov notes that Cirque du Soleil “designs and runs every show as a multichannel system, including lots of effects going through different channels of the main PA and others through a surround system. It means that the audience don’t just watch the show, they feel like they are part of it.”
