Rubens the musical

Creative design practice Painting with Light presented a stunning lighting and video design together with bespoke video content for “Rubens the Musical”, a production of spectacular proportions staged by Historalia on a series of pontoons floating in the moat of the magnificent (old) Westerlo Castle in Belgium.

The magical setting was fitting for the show, which featured Rubens, master painter of the Flemish Baroque movement, as the central character in a unique performance that ran for two and a half weeks, proving so popular that more shows were added.

Painting with Light also supplied the lighting and video control package, including one of their new disguise servers to run the impressive 50-metre-wide canvas that formed a dramatic backdrop to the stage.
