Holy Heimori, Mongolian Epic, Features Martin LightingThe elaborate Ordos epic, Holy Heimori, produced by the Etuoke Qianqi people of Inner Mongolia in China, premiered in September on the Grassland Stage of the Shanghai Temple in Inner Mongolia. The legendry tale, about drawing tribal conflict to a close and seeking lasting peace on the grassland, came to life with the aid of an elaborate set and stage design that incorporated mood-generating and decorate effects from Martin MAC 401 Dual RGB Zoom luminaires and MAC 2000 Wash moving heads. Lighting design is by Sha Xiao Lan, lighting designer for the opening ceremony of the 2008 Beijing Olympics. Traditional song, dance, and art, as well as ethnic customs and values are expressed on stage with the help of dynamic lighting technology to give the audience a better understanding of Mongolian Ordos culture. For example, Ordos folk songs are melodious, like the sounds of nature, and their dance is fascinating and graceful. Lighting and sound is used to match the performance's mood perfectly so the audience feels as if they are sitting in the midst of a beautiful and broad grassland.
