084 VENUE
NATIONAL CHARTER MONUMENT
SAKHIR, BAHRAIN EUROPE/MIDDLE EAST/AFRICA
In Sakhir, the Bahrain National Charter Monument was inaugurated at a Royal ceremony marking the anniversary of the National Action Charter on 14 February. This significant occasion took place on the museum site, which is set up in an amphitheatre style. Pico International (Bahrain) was responsible for the event concept, design, implementation and show production including the multimedia and lighting design, which marked the celebratory opening ceremony of one of the largest cultural monuments of the region. For the event, which was designed to reveal the gift of the King to the people of Bahrain, A&O Technology Middle East supplied 14 Falcon Beam colour 7000W. The Falcon Xenon searchlights, manufactured by German company, alpha one, were placed on top of an impressive overhead crossing which encircles the museum from where they cast various pictures into the evening sky and emphasised the unique architecture of the monument structure. Lighting direction came from grandMA, in the form of its ‘full-size’ lighting console. The event program culminated in grand finale with a spectacular lighting display and brilliant aerial fireworks. His Majesty King Hamad Ibn Isa Al Khalifa graced the ceremony along with HRH The Prime Minister, Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa and HRH Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crowne Prince and Deputy Supreme Commander and other members of the Royal Family.

Guests included ministers, ambassadors and high-ranking officials. Jessica Neumann, Senior Business Development Manager / Project Management, A&O Technology Middle East said: “For a large number of major opening ceremonies all around the world, our Falcon fixtures have increasingly found their place in these kind of events over the past few years. Due to their high-power output and reliability during live shows, the alpha one Falcon range proves itself over and over to become the lighting designers and operators best friend. A&O is proud to include such an important event for one of Bahrain’s latest landmarks into our list of prestigious opening ceremonies.” Discussing the Falcon Series’ merits, Jessica added: “The alpha one Falcon searchlights are the most powerful lights in the world; German technology, reliability and the ability to precision the fixtures into an exact position when programming allows the operator an easy handling of the fixtures. These attributes, including their high- power output, were one of the main reasons why they have been chosen for the opening ceremony.” The Bahrain National Charter Monument was opened as a cultural centre that includes an amphitheatre, a gallery and a museum and is dedicated to the new Constitution of 2001, which was passed after a majority vote of the population after which Bahrain returned to constitutional rule and became one of the most liberal countries in the gulf region. The Monument is of international and regional importance to the Kingdom of Bahrain and commemorates the loyalty of the people of Bahrain to their King and country.
