Bionica Show Technical Rider

Full compliance with this technical rider is mandatory.

The local technical team responsible for the technical production of the event must contact the Bionica Show manager in advance to confirm full compliance with the rider or to agree on any possible adjustments.

A black stage floor and dark stage surroundings are preferred.

• Lemon;
• Red Angels;
• Matryoshkas;
• Maya Gold;
• Robo-Bio.

Lighting Requirements

All lighting equipment must be installed, connected, tested and ready for programming at least 6 hours before the event begins.

The venue must be completely dark during the performance. If the venue has windows, they must be covered in advance. All house, service and stage lighting must be switched off.

The number of backlighting positions depends on the size of the stage. Each backlighting position must include:

• at least 6 Wash 575 fixtures;
• at least 6 Spot 575 fixtures;
• at least 6 Sharpy Beam fixtures;
• at least 3 Martin Atomic 3000 strobe lights.

Front Lighting

• at least 8 Wash 575 fixtures;
• at least 6 Sharpy Beam fixtures.

Side Lighting

• at least 4 Wash 575 fixtures — 2 on each side of the stage.

Haze and Smoke

• 2 Hazer machines — one positioned on each side of the stage;
• a low-fog machine is also welcome.

The intelligent lighting console must have at least 10 faders with Flash buttons.

Lighting programming and operation must be carried out by the lighting technician provided by the local production company in cooperation with a Bionica Show representative.

Control of all lighting equipment must be located in one place.

Stage and Sound

1. The minimum stage size is 4 × 4 metres. This must be clear performance space without equipment, cables or other obstacles.
2. Additional laser equipment is welcome.
3. One or two stage sound monitors must be provided.
4. The required audio tracks can be downloaded from the descriptions of the corresponding performances on the Bionica Show website. The track link is placed at the end of each description as a full stop.

LED Screen Content

Bionica Show does not provide ready-made video content for LED screens. The choice of visuals remains the responsibility of the event organiser or show director.

The main requirement is to avoid excessively bright screen content. Screens that are too bright have the same effect as bright house lighting and can significantly reduce the visual impact of the lasers and illuminated costumes.

Examples of suitable video content for individual performances are included in the full Technical Rider available for download below.

1. The minimum stage size is 6 × 6 metres. A stage measuring 8 × 8 metres is preferred.

• a video projector positioned on the floor approximately 6 metres behind the screen;
• the projector must fill the entire screen with white light or video from behind;
• the lower part of the screen must lie directly on the floor so that the projected image begins at floor level and the performers’ feet are not cut off;
