ABU DHABI
Mother Of The Nation Festival
Protec engaged to provide comprehensive and fully integrated technology package
Spread across ten days – and more than a kilometre of Abu Dhabi’s corniche beach – the Mother of the Nation Festival (MOTN) celebrates, commemorates and honours the inspirational values of Her Highness Sheikha Fatima bint Mubarak.
Via a number of diverse activity zones, the festival again created an entertaining and highly interactive atmosphere, including educational activities, exhibitions and performance, inviting families and individuals from all walks of life to help preserve the Emirati heritage.
Based on their success in the inaugural year, Protec were again engaged to provide a comprehensive and fully integrated technology package – including rigging, and an array of backline from drum kits to keyboards – under the project management of James Lakin.
Working for Flash Entertainment on the Main Stage, his team faced considerable challenges, not only in reinforcing such a wide performance package, but in mitigating factors outside their control, notably the weather.
