MOSCOW, Russia — Entertaining audiences worldwide, the global Nitro Circus Live tour stopped
in Russia and had the hearts of extreme sports fans racing both in Moscow and
in Saint Petersburg. The stars of Nitro Circus Live put on a unique and
inspiring show for the Russian spectators, with bright effects from HARMAN’s
Martin MAC III AirFX, provided by the rental company Euroshow,
adding something extra for the spectacular performances full of power, energy
and adrenaline.
Professional action sports athlete Travis
Pastrana founded Nitro Circus in 2009 in an attempt to unite the most fearless
extreme athletes in the world. The original Nitro Circus show consisted of a
variety of tricks on motocross bikes, roller skates, scooters and other
vehicles like cars for dolls, toy tricycles, boogie boards for surfing, tandem
scooters and many more. Some of the tricks have already achieved world record
status, including the famous Nitro Bomb where 20 athletes perform backflips
while floating in the air.
The team includes Aaron Fotheringham who since
childhood has been confined to a wheelchair. He travels the world with Nitro
Circus and demonstrates how he will not allow his disability to hold him back.
Wanted: Extreme Power
The Nitro Circus Live team was very clear and
specific about their requirements for light, requiring wash, profile and strobes.
They were only interested in 1500-W moving heads, and in line with their
passion for extreme sports, wanted extreme lights. The circus arena is huge and
therefore the power of fixtures became a crucial factor. Euroshow proposed a
combination of Martin Professional fixtures consisting of MAC 2000 Wash XB, MAC
III AirFX and Atomic 3000 DMX.
The brightest MAC III AirFX is welcome
The precise and powerful effects of the MAC III
AirFX appeared as a framing for the entire act. During Nitro Circus the performers
risk their lives to demonstrate a truly spectacular measure of dexterity and
courage. This meant added pressure and responsibility for the lighting design
team.
During the show MAC III AirFX produced
spectacular visual effects in geometric shapes. Such accurate and precise
control of light beams underlined the atmosphere of the whole show.
“Brightness is the
alter ego of MAC III AirFX,” stated Alexander Blednykh, Owner of Euroshow. “Today
we don’t have a fixture with brighter output. It appeared in the professional
market not long ago but it has already managed to become an essential part of
the riders. The show’s lighting designer was happy we were able to provide him
with these fixtures in Russia. He showcased the features of MAC III AirFX in an
excellent way – like a true lighting master. Commonplace objects and structures
received a new look under an exquisite array of effects.”
