Robert Juliat FLOs Perform to Perfection at Cirque Arlette Gruss
L’Autre Monde, the new show from Gilbert Gruss’ Cirque Arlette Gruss, is currently touring France with four DMX-controlled Robert Juliat 1800W MSR FLO followspots to highlight its dazzling, fast moving acts.
Arlette Gruss promises its audiences a spectacle like no other with a top of the range show that encompasses trapeze artists, clowns, magicians, motorbikes and animals. With a six month tour that takes in the towns of Bordeaux, La Rochelle, Rouen, Arras, Lille, Boulogne, Dunkerque, Valenciennes, Thionville, Mulhouse, Strasbourg, Colmar, Reims and Troyes, lighting designer Arthur Oudin needed a followspot that was small and tough enough to tour and versatile enough to be controlled with pin-point accuracy, as well as deliver top notch performance.
“The ideal unit proved to be the Robert Juliat FLO with a DMX controlled dimmer, shutter” says Oudin. “The power of this small compact truss followspot is truly brilliant. The electronic ballast reduces the weight considerably and manages the power of the lamp accurately which was especially useful when lighting the jugglers, for example. It also makes it possible to dim the followspot without losing the beauty of the beam.
