Rencontres d'Arles, nights of the Antique Theatre
iDzia, the audiovisual technical partner of the Rencontres d'Arles, was pleased to participate this year in the screening nights at the Théâtre Antique in Arles. The Rencontres de la photographie, held every summer since 1970, is the largest international photography festival. This prestigious event brings together photographers, artists, and enthusiasts from around the world to celebrate the art of photography and discover new perspectives on the world through images.
The Théâtre Antique, with its impressive historic setting, proved to be the perfect venue for these screenings. This theater, dating back to the 1st century BC, provides a unique backdrop where ancient stones and the outdoor environment create an exceptional ambiance for this cultural celebration. In this context, iDzia provided comprehensive technical support, ensuring that the projections, lighting, and sound were perfectly suited to the space.
Our team worked to provide flawless technical installations, enhancing the immersive experience of the screenings. Sound, which is especially crucial in a large outdoor venue like the Théâtre Antique, was one of our primary focuses. Using a custom-designed audio system, we ensured that every spectator could enjoy the projections with optimal clarity, no matter their location. By collaborating with renowned brands such as DB Audiotechnik, Yamaha Pro Audio, and Fohhn, we were able to guarantee impeccable sound quality—rich, clear, and immersive.
Lighting also played a key role in creating the right atmosphere for the screenings. It was essential to highlight the architectural features of the theater while adding a contemporary touch. With advanced lighting technologies from brands like Vari-Lite and MA Lighting, we created dynamic lighting effects that enhanced the architecture of the venue while subtly complementing the projections without overshadowing the images.
Video projection was another essential aspect of our work at the Théâtre Antique. In partnership with Christie Digital, we implemented state-of-the-art projection technology that brought the photographs to life. Using high-performance projectors, we ensured the images were projected with exceptional clarity, sharpness, and color accuracy, offering the audience the best possible visual experience.
The 2021 edition of the Rencontres d'Arles will remain a memorable event, and we are proud to have contributed to its success. Thanks to our expertise and the use of cutting-edge technologies, we helped create a high-quality audiovisual experience that perfectly aligned with the artistic vision of the festival. The combination of sound, lighting, and video made the screenings at the Théâtre Antique not only a visual experience but also a captivating sensory journey that enchanted the audience and added to the magic of this iconic cultural event.
