MACEFORUM MILANO 2024
On October 18, 2024, MACE took over the Unipol Forum in Milan with a performance that transcended conventional concert experiences, merging live music with immersive visual storytelling. The show’s artistic direction, led by Marco Klefisch, was elevated by Sugo’s vivid visual content, operated live by Steve Polli, which set a dynamic, otherworldly atmosphere.
Our team, led by Project Manager and Head Lighting Designer Davide Pedrotti, crafted a lighting design that became an integral part of this multisensory experience. Working alongside Francesco Mingoia and Nicolò Maffeis as lighting programmers and operators, we created a fluid interplay between light and visuals. The lighting seamlessly transitioned between naturalistic, ambient scenes and intense, pulsating sequences that matched the show’s rhythm, transforming each moment to match MACE’s soundscape.
MACE and his musicians performed within a symbolic, sunken “hole” on stage, surrounded by trees and a circular LED ring—evoking Saturn’s rings—designed to wrap them in a cosmic embrace. The lighting design amplified these elements, blending with projected symbols, phrases like “Entra fuori da te” (“Enter outside yourself”), and surreal visuals, creating an atmosphere that took the audience on a deeply immersive, almost psychedelic journey.
A cohesive production, merging digital and analog elements into a single, captivating flow—a stellar achievement that invited the audience to experience music as a journey into self-reflection and wonder.
