In concerts they have been used 24 Pointes, 24 Spiiders and 36 LEDWash 300s de Robe, Teams that were placed in five trusses backstage and on the sides. They were also used to mount 4 Led screens×1 metre.

'Children of the Sea’ is the name of the last concert tour of the Almeria singer David Bisbal in which he is promoting his album of the same name. This has already passed through Spain and Latin America and will continue during this year.

Ezequiel Gómez has been the person responsible for the design of the lighting infrastructure and has chosen Steal for most robotics, with Spiider luminaires, Pointe and LEDWash 300 Being key in the IBG.

Ezequiel has worked with this artist since the year 2009. The stage and stage design for this tour was a true collaboration between the artist himself., Brian Sellei of Less than Zero, Universal Music, Ledscontrol (Led specialists in Barcelona) and the performing arts collective SomosLuz, that counts Ezekiel as a member.

Ledscontrol presented the initial idea from which the look of the stage evolved. From this came the idea of having 'closets'’ Partially closed LEDs for the band risers. Ezequiel and his team at SomosLuz were able to adapt it to turn it into a concept adapted to a tour.. The video department of SomosLuz, directed by Lucas Averbuj, made the video with direct input from David Bisbal.

the 24 Pointes, 24 Spiiders and 36 LEDWash 300s were placed in five trusses behind the stage and on the sides, that were also used to mount a series of Led video screens measuring four meters wide and one high.

The LX truss 1 was in the proscenium and the LX 5 I was at the back of the stage, and in this one they were mounted 12 of Spiider luminaires. The LX 4 it featured 12 Pointes and the LX 2, as well as the LX 3. were loaded with 6 Points and 6 Alternating Spiiders. All LEDWash 300s were mounted on the side trusses. The LEDWash 300s were used to illuminate the band from that specific angle, Applying color and density to the width of the stage.

Since they offer a wide range of effects, Pointe luminaires were used in beam and spot mode for many of these.

The Spiider were used to bathe the stage in bold colored uniforms and provide backlighting., Powerful and warm. They took advantage of the control function by zone and also the central flower effect as a scenic element to change the nature and perception of the interpretive space.

Spiider luminaires were specified because “we like the quality of the light and the effects that can be achieved especially coming from the hexagonal shape of the central Led and the fact that it can be used as a scenic effect”, comments Ezekiel, who has used the idea of the hexagonal shape in several recent designs.

The overall visual design for the tour was based on these three distinctive elements., And there he also found his balance… Stripes of screens for video, lighting and risers illuminated with Led.
These were combined to create a coherent visual harmony.. “There was a retro touch of the decade of 1980 In this aesthetic. With our designs it is not simply about using effects and achieving factors Guau.Se it is about bringing dramaturgy and emotion to the stage and sharing and communicating with the audience.”, clarifies Ezekiel.

The lighting equipment for the Spanish part of the tour was provided by Fluge, that have acquired all their Robe luminaires from the Spanish distributor EES and the head of its lighting staff was José Miguel Velázquez.

Iván Gárcia Fernández directed the IMAG video cameras, Antonio Allue was the stage director, Aitor Sanchez Crespo organized the tour and the production director for the tour was Ricardo Yago López.
