Lumen
A new way to make a live show. The artist directs in plain language; the lighting designer’s taste is the vocabulary. The show is authored as intent — not as wiring — so it can be carried anywhere, re-performed on any rig, and locked to one clock across the world.
“The artist directs the show in plain language. The LD’s taste is the vocabulary.”
One show model is the single source of truth. Everything else is a way of working with it. Three modules sit on top — one to design from anywhere, one for live rehearsal, one to run the same show in two countries at once. Each has a short walkthrough below.
The three modules
Your whole show in your pocket. Open it on any device — offline — scrub to a moment, describe a change, preview it on screen, save a new version. Inspiration whenever it hits.
For the artist→ Echo Live rehearsal loopIn the room: the artist speaks a note, Lumen knows exactly where you are in the show, resolves it to your look, previews it — and the LD approves before anything touches the desk.
For the LD→ Mirror One show, two countriesDon’t race the signal. Schedule the whole show against one master clock with a deliberate delay, and let every site fire locally, perfectly in sync — even across an ocean.
