Total flexibility was required for the Paradise Club, an inventive high production spectacle, perfectly suited for Times Square. Both fixed architectural and flexible theatrical lighting were merged into a single digital control universe. The rear wall of the stage is a high-resolution video screen, and the ceiling is a custom-designed, low-resolution video-driven RGB starburst composed of thousands of individual pixel domes. The backlit bar art glass wall completes the enveloping environment, as all three main elements may share video or other DMX programming sources.
The room is completed with mysteriously highlighted murals and pinpoint lights directed at each table. FMS designed various environments for the space, including dining and pre-show sequences. For the entertainment events (cabaret, music performance, dance club) the mandate is for harmony and dissonance to inhabit the same space and are available to the talented designers who create each moment.
