| Cirque du Soleil's Varekai |
| Cirque du Soleil : Montreal, Quebec |
| The renowned French-Canadian circus troupe Cirque du Soleil utilized an Elumenati HAL-X1 to create an internally-projected 360 degree floating balloon for use in their Varekai show. A playful hot-air balloon was used as an integral part of a clown's performance, and the Cirque's lighting designers wanted to find a way to fill the balloon's surface with dynamic video projections to add to the mystery, ambiance, and humor of the show.
To achieve this, the designers approached the Elumenati about using an Omnifocus system. The HAL-X1 was small and light enough to be mounted within the balloon, could fill the entire balloon surface with in-focus imagery, and still providing the buoancy necessary for interaction with the actors. |
