The Believers are but Brothers
- Javaad Alipoor
I joined Javaad's team as a Relighter for their Edinburgh Fringe performances. I then became their Production Manager, taking this award-winning show around the UK, to Vancouver and Gothenburg. 2019 saw more UK dates, as well as a three-week tour of Australia, and we also toured this to Ann Arbor, US in 2020.
The show is technically quite complex, involving a large QLab file with over 1000 cues, webcams, projection, video mapping, multiple audio outputs and a dedicated WhatsApp group in which the audience participate during the show. A key element of preparation for the show is to ensure a suitable internet connection in the venue before we arrive.
In 2020, we brought this show to HOME, Manchester for a socially-distanced live performance and two live-streamed shows.
