FORK in concert
UK Tour
April 2013
ShowTex supplied a versatile stage solution for the latest performances by Finnish a cappella group FORK.
Lighting designer Tobias Lönnquist created several different looks with 4 Satinac Crunch curtains rigged in a circular formation. Motion was added to change the shape of the curtains during the show by incorporating ropes and griptex. The multifaceted texture of Satinac Crunch allowed for colourful effects and greater depth onstage.
FORK is one of Scandinavia's most popular a cappella groups known mainly for crowd pleasing shows combining the various forms of stage art; music, stand-up, theatre, and dance that all add up to a humorous, yet elegant show experience. Every sound heard by the audience - from pristine vocals to rock guitar riffs and powerful bass lines - is produced live on stage; there are no backing tapes or hidden singers! And the whole package is wrapped up in a glamorous presentation, delivered with FORK'S trademark wit and humour.
