Protec delivers for Mother of the Nation Festival
Protec has provided a fully integrated technology package – including rigging, and an array of backline from drum kits to keyboards – to the Mother of the Nation Festival (http://www.motn.ae/en/) in
Abu Dhabi, a 10-day celebration that commemorates and honours the values of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak.
Flash Entertainment contracted Protec for the festival, which featured a number of activity zones, educational activities and performances, inviting families and individuals from all walks of life to help preserve the Emirati heritage.
Protec’s James Lakin project managed the festival which featured five zones – Happiness, Progress, Beach Dining, Pavilion and The Souq. HQ Worldwide engaged Protec to illuminate the Happiness Zone, uplighting the trees and giant flower sculptures, as well as one of the domes, the arts and crafts area and the Jeep tour. It also provided sound reinforcement.
Main Stage lighting was specified by Flash International and was based largely around Clay Paky Prima Mythos, A.LEDA K20 B-EYE /A.LEDA K10 B-EYE and Prima Super Sharpy – all controlled by grandMA 2 Full Size and grandMA 2 Lite desks.
Protec (http://www.productiontec.com) provided a projection screen that filled the back of the stage, run in tandem with a pair of Christie Roadster HD 20K-J DLP projectors to deliver graphic content from logos, titles, sponsored video loops and information on what happening throughout the festival – as well as the Pokémon Orchestra, playing in sync to a video.
