Tiziano Ferro, ''Summer Tour''

Tour 2007

For the summer tour 2007 of Tiziano Ferro the production choose to use two big transparent modular LED screens.The screens had to be suspended and made flow along the circular perimeter of a ring with a diameter of 10 m, together with the several feeders that had a weight of around 50 kgs each.For this purpose it was projected and built a special custom Stage machine.In the picture: the structure of the stage at the end of the installation in the stadium of Latina (Italy), where it was entertained the first evening of the tour.

The movement machine of the screens consisted in a round rail realized with two rails Laser installed in parallel along a round structure of support realized with a big aluminum truss.The rail held up two supporting devices with a half-circular shape that, thanks to the carts of the Laser system, were made flow with a system of motorized movement with a rack electronically commanded by the show direction.The Stage machine allowed, during the show, to open and close at choice with the screens the circular space that constituted the center of the stage.The picture underlines a detail of the two supporting devices of the screens, suspended with special carts to the rail realized with the Laser rails.
A detail of the mechanical system during the testing installation in Peroni's theater in Gallarate. Its debugging asked for an accurate project and execution, that had to look for an extreme solidity and simplicity.One had in fact to keep in mind the needs of assemblage, dismantlement and transport that, during the musical tours, must be performed very quickly.The bending of the rails and the realization of the flowing structures asked for a very high precision.
An instant of the concert in which Tiziano Ferro is inside the circle formed by the transparent LED screens suspended to the structures of the stage.
The slide of the two half-circular parts of the Stage machine along the track made of Laser rails makes open the screens as if they were the two cloths of a Traveller curtain.
The structure of the stage, seen during the concert, underlines the rail sliding mechanical system.
In this phase of the concert the screens are off and moved to the sides, while it is in evidence the structure of the stage.
Here instead the LED screens are closed and they serves as a background for the performers.
