SOUTH AFRICA - Within just six hours of ticket sales opening, the Pretoria leg of ‘Afrikaans is Groot’ was sold out. Just goes to show how Groot Afrikaans is’! The Cape Town leg followed suite with its three performances selling out by the end of that day.
With the calibre of such artists as Juanita Du Plessis, Theuns Jordaan, Steve Hofmeyr, Bobby van Jaarsveld, Bok van Blerk, Robbie Wessels, Lianie May, Karlien van Jaarsveld, Jay, Riana Nel, Jannie Moolman, Arno Jordaan, Jak de Priester, Corlea Botha, EDEN, Dewald Wasserfall and more, the show promised to be a hit.
Featuring this amount of talent meant that the set and production for both the Moreleta Park Church Auditorium and the Grand Arena, GrandWest, had to be on point. Designed by Michael Gill and built by Gearhouse SDS, the set was the perfect balance of light and metal finishes. With concentric circles and strips of light built into the stage, the focus was drawn to each of the performances. To reach as many audience members as possible, two round performance platforms either side of the stage extended the performance area.
MGG’s new, state of the art VuePix E-Series Pro 12mm LED Mesh Screen became the backdrop to the impressive portrait LED Walls and reinforced the design cues with light strips and flowing, metallic lines.
A production of this magnitude is no mean feat. It was for this reason that the team called on, for a second consecutive year, the impeccable Project Management skills of Denzil Smith. Smith’s meticulous planning, along with his passion ensured that his MGG team, the sole technical supplier, put many hours of hard work into the pre-production and build. The result of such efforts was a definite level of professionalism.
The lighting was conceptualised and programmed by Mauritz Jacobs of Dream Sets. Jacobs thouroughly enjoyed the task due to the fact that Coleske Artist’s ‘Afrikaans is Groot’ is not like any other show. His preparation included listening to the play lists and watching previous recordings of the show. The basic objective was to light for a fantastic live show that had 5 LED Walls to compete with, and also light for the DVD recording.
Clay Paky fixtures were part of the lighting gear, including 12 A.leda B-EYE K20, 12 A.leda B-EYE K10, 24 Sharpys and 24 AlphaSpot HPE 1500.

Belgrade, Serbia – Clay Paky Sharpys have lit the Serbian launch of BMW’s latest model in the X-series, the X6. Taking place at the prestigious Crowne Plaza Hotel in the capital’s business district, the exciting event was technically produced by award-winning rental operation Studio Berar, who supplied sixteen of the super powerful fixtures for the light show.
Working alongside Belgrade-based marketing agency M2Communications and creative director Miro Antic, Studio Berar was commissioned by Serbian BMW dealer Delta Motors to create a highly sophisticated and visually stunning environment for the guests. Lighting designer Marko Malesevic positioned the Sharpys on the floor to create a runway, where contemporary dancers performed and the car appeared through a smoky, coloured haze.
“Marko used the powerful and perfectly defined beams of the Sharpys to pierce through the smoke and cross over to create ‘X’s, signifying the X6,” explains Studio Berar Production Manager Emil Berar. “They allowed him to create some amazing looks, with varying colours, that perfectly complemented the performances.”
