Les Escales du Cargo - 2019

On August 15, 2019, the Ancient Theatre of Arles became the setting for an extraordinary event: the concert of the legendary Joan Baez as part of the "Escales du Cargo" festival. This iconic venue, rich in history and natural acoustics, provided the perfect backdrop for this unforgettable evening where music and technology met to deliver an exceptional experience to the audience.

iDzia, a company specializing in technical installations for large-scale events, was responsible for the sound and lighting for this concert. Thanks to their expertise and the use of cutting-edge equipment, iDzia was able to highlight the intensity and beauty of Joan Baez’s performance while preserving the magic of the Ancient Theatre.

One of the key elements of the evening was the incredible sound quality. iDzia chose the exceptional V-Series sound systems from DB Audiotechnik. These high-quality systems provide remarkable sound precision and even coverage of the audience. No matter where the spectators were seated in the amphitheater, they could appreciate the clarity and power of the sound, making each song an immersive experience. The sound system was perfectly tuned to adapt to the unique configuration of the space and the distinct characteristics of the venue.

For the visual aspect, iDzia used cutting-edge lighting equipment from Robe Lighting and Martin Lighting, creating a striking visual atmosphere. The lighting was carefully designed to complement Joan Baez’s performance, adding an additional dimension to the emotion conveyed by her voice. The light show enhanced each moment of the concert, transforming the atmosphere of the Ancient Theatre and creating an unprecedented sensory experience. The fluidity of the lighting transitions and the precision of the effects added a touch of magic, intensifying the emotional impact of the performance.

Finally, the entire show was seamlessly managed using the GrandMA control console. This lighting and sound management system ensured perfect synchronization of the various technical elements, guaranteeing optimal fluidity and responsiveness throughout the evening.

Joan Baez’s concert at the Escales du Cargo was a true success thanks to the perfect combination of the artist’s sublime voice and the cutting-edge technologies implemented by iDzia. The audience experienced a magical moment, blending emotion and technology in one of the most beautiful historic sites in Arles. This concert will be remembered as an unforgettable musical and visual experience.
