Monking Around

Rental company Bandit Lites has provided the lighting package for the unique performances of the Shaolin Monks. The Shaolin Monks’ performance is a Kung Fu, martial arts, theatre spectacular featuring the soldier monks of China´s ancient Shaolin Temple.

World-renowned for their discipline and strength, the Shaolin Monks continue a tradition of peace, harmony and spirituality forged through years of struggle, invasion and war.

“We wanted the lights to reflect the mystical feeling that comes from the performance,” stated Bandit Vice President Richard Willis, “and I think that’s been accomplished.”  Bandit created the mystical feeling for the show with truly exceptional theatrical lighting that included 14 Martin MAC 2000 Profiles, 13 MAC 600 washlights and a pair of Atomic 3000 strobes.
