Stage Directions magazine, known for getting down into the grit and grime of productions, dove into the technology that went into constructing Cirque du Soleil at MGM-Grand, or better known to us as KÀ, for its January 2005 issue. In continuing our look into the equipment and technical know-how that helps illuminate our favorite Cirque du Soleil productions, Fascination presents the following information about KÀ’s lighting equipment from that issue of Stage Directions in three parts — Part 1: Dimming and Control Systems, Conventional Fixtures, and Arc Sources & Followspots; Part 2: Moving Lights, Effects Equipment, Other Items, Scrollers & Dousers and Projection Equipment; and Part 3: The Design and Production Team.
