The lighting and show designer Mariano De Tassis (who also produced the show together with Alessio Kogoy and Samuela Caliari) designed the lighting. "The customer's idea," Mariano explained, "was to put on a 24 hour non-stop show consisting of events relating to the exhibits in the Science Museum. The gamble was to condense lots of different types of event (talk shows, music, DJs, science stories and science laboratories) into a schedule without breaks, where the constantly changing Museum always played the starring role."
Ezio and Bruno, the owners of Maffei Service, the company that dealt with setting up the sound, lighting and video equipment, counted on the services provided by Event Management and Gest Service. "It was quite a complicated rig," Ezio said, "which completely absorbed us. However thanks - among other things - to the quality and reliability of the video projections and the equipment we used (56 Clay Paky moving heads, including Alpha Profiles and Sharpys), we completed it with great satisfaction.
"On this subject, special thanks go to the team that worked with me: the technical manager for the stages Mariano Banerjee from Gest service (Trento), lighting operators Mario Zanella (moving) and Jakob Pernarcich (architecture), the hall sound technicians Fabio Depretis, Luca Vianini and Federico Dorigati, and the stage assistants Lucio Zaedan, Giacomo Plotegher, Gabriele Turra and Massimiliano Gulinelli."
