DroneArt Show has been traveling the world for months. From San Francisco to Paris, from Rome to Berlin. From Madrid to Barcelona passing through Seville. And, finally, it lands in the Levante next spring with two days of show in Alicante: it will be in the Estadi Municipal d’Atletisme of the city on March 13 and 14. Those who want to escape from Fallas for a little while, will be able to do it two hours away from home. Tickets are already on sale.
This show merges a concert of live classical music (a string quartet will perform compositions by Vivaldi, Mussorgsky or Tchaikovsky) with drone technology, which will fly forming evocative images in the sky, synchronized with the music that sounds at the time. In addition, the musicians will be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of candles, a romantic and soft light that highlights the quartet but does not interrupt the drone show projected in the sky.
Technology, art and live music
What is DroneArt Show? Let’s start with what it is not: it is not another drone show. To begin with, because it works with different fleets (of 1000 drones in total) that work together: when one fleet designs fantasies in the sky, the other one is loading. In this way, the presence of the drones is long-lasting.
The technology is the brainchild of Nova Sky Stories, which produced the drone light show during Grace for the World, a historic star-studded musical event held in St. Peter’s Square in Vatican City as part of the World Meeting on Human Fraternity.
On this occasion, the drones will draw foxes, butterflies, trees, constellations, stars, flowers… (and more surprises that we won’t spoiler). All images related to the classical compositions that will be heard during the recital. Not surprisingly, among the repertoire we will find The Four Seasons by Vivaldi, The Snow Dances by Debussy, The Swan and The Cuckoo by Camille Saint-Saëns, The Flight of the Blowfly by Rimsky-Korsakov or the symphonic poem The Sorcerer’s Apprentice by Paul Dukas, among other compositions.
