Expect them to be 39 00:02:05,040 --> 00:02:07,959 professional, do their best. 40 00:02:07,959 --> 00:02:11,440 Slay so much pride and joy seeing my 41 00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:14,400 children performing as if they've been 42 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,560 doing it all their lives. Those who 43 00:02:16,560 --> 00:02:19,040 Madonna is demanding. 44 00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,440 You guys want me to work my ass off and 45 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:24,319 nobody else does the same [ __ ] Oh, 46 00:02:24,319 --> 00:02:26,720 let's be real. This is like an elephant 47 00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:29,920 for every song. Every song takes a 48 00:02:29,920 --> 00:02:33,680 booty. Make it clap. It's hot as a B. 49 00:02:33,680 --> 00:02:36,400 I'm so tired. There's been really lots 50 00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:38,959 of high and then some down and some 51 00:02:38,959 --> 00:02:42,000 moments that were just, you know, where 52 00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,560 we even doubt that we could do this, you 53 00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:46,640 know. So the fact that no it's we 54 00:02:46,640 --> 00:02:48,480 finally got there is actually kind of a 55 00:02:48,480 --> 00:02:51,360 miracle. We finally finished by real Rio 56 00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,879 de Janeiro Cababana. I'm panicking right 57 00:02:54,879 --> 00:02:57,599 now. Belgian stress. No, it's going to 58 00:02:57,599 --> 00:02:59,519 be a great show. Prepare yourselves. 59 00:02:59,519 --> 00:03:01,760 We're going to kill it. We're finally 60 00:03:01,760 --> 00:03:03,360 the reason why we're not stressed and 61 00:03:03,360 --> 00:03:04,800 we're not like anything like that cuz 62 00:03:04,800 --> 00:03:07,120 it's just what we do. This is like the 63 00:03:07,120 --> 00:03:10,239 dawning of the age of Aquarius. So, the 64 00:03:10,239 --> 00:03:11,840 baby we're going to give birth to on the 65 00:03:11,840 --> 00:03:14,400 Copa Cabana Beach 66 00:03:14,400 --> 00:03:18,280 is going to be a mother bugger. 67 00:03:19,599 --> 00:03:21,680 Well, I feel like this would be a really 68 00:03:21,680 --> 00:03:23,360 great time to rip it all up and just 69 00:03:23,360 --> 00:03:24,440 start 70 00:03:24,440 --> 00:03:26,879 again. My name's Rob Sinclair. I'm the 71 00:03:26,879 --> 00:03:28,800 lighting designer for the celebration 72 00:03:28,800 --> 00:03:31,440 tour. 73 00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:32,879 What we're doing here is we're taking 74 00:03:32,879 --> 00:03:35,599 the existing show and adapting it for 75 00:03:35,599 --> 00:03:36,799 outdoors where we have a lot of 76 00:03:36,799 --> 00:03:38,720 practical concerns, making it feel 77 00:03:38,720 --> 00:03:41,440 bigger, but also trying to create the 78 00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:43,920 same feel that we've had throughout. And 79 00:03:43,920 --> 00:03:45,840 of course, my main priority is to make 80 00:03:45,840 --> 00:03:48,799 the doll look amazing. 81 00:03:48,799 --> 00:03:50,640 The challenge of Rio is really the same 82 00:03:50,640 --> 00:03:52,319 challenge as anytime you come to a new 83 00:03:52,319 --> 00:03:55,120 venue is is that you walk in, you don't 84 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:56,319 know what you're going to get. You can 85 00:03:56,319 --> 00:03:58,319 walk into audio heaven or you can work 86 00:03:58,319 --> 00:04:00,239 into audio hell and you don't know. But 87 00:04:00,239 --> 00:04:01,599 the thing you have to know is that 88 00:04:01,599 --> 00:04:03,280 you're going to listen and you do 89 00:04:03,280 --> 00:04:04,720 everything you can to improve it and 90 00:04:04,720 --> 00:04:06,599 make it work. So in that 91 00:04:06,599 --> 00:04:09,760 sense, no, I'm not concerned at all. So 92 00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:11,280 we've been working on this for about 3 93 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,519 months now um together with our our 94 00:04:13,519 --> 00:04:15,200 touring team who've been in America and 95 00:04:15,200 --> 00:04:17,919 a local team here in Brazil to try and 96 00:04:17,919 --> 00:04:19,600 recreate the stage show as well as we 97 00:04:19,600 --> 00:04:21,840 can outdoors to give us some more 98 00:04:21,840 --> 00:04:24,000 options. We're also going to show the 99 00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:26,000 scale of the event. We have a lot of 100 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,560 lights around the stage, see both onto 101 00:04:28,560 --> 00:04:30,960 an avenue and out to sea. And then we 102 00:04:30,960 --> 00:04:32,960 have lights go a mile back along the 103 00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:34,639 beach and all of those lights are going 104 00:04:34,639 --> 00:04:36,639 to be programmed in with the stuff that 105 00:04:36,639 --> 00:04:38,960 we have on stage. If we're in a moody 106 00:04:38,960 --> 00:04:41,040 moment on stage, they'll be moody all 107 00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:42,560 the way along the beach. If we're 108 00:04:42,560 --> 00:04:45,040 strobing on stage, it'll be strobing all 109 00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:47,199 along the beach. And if in the finale, 110 00:04:47,199 --> 00:04:49,840 we're going nuts in bitcho. the lights 111 00:04:49,840 --> 00:04:51,040 along the beach are going to be gone. 112 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,600 Nuts of the same. 113 00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:58,120 I think Rio is is is an incredible 114 00:04:58,120 --> 00:05:00,639 opportunity to do something with scale 115 00:05:00,639 --> 00:05:03,120 for a lot of people. The difference 116 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,520 being this tour has had people who've 117 00:05:05,520 --> 00:05:08,080 traveled around with it, who spent a lot 118 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:09,840 of their savings to come to see it. Rio 119 00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:11,759 is a really different proposition. Rio 120 00:05:11,759 --> 00:05:13,919 is free on the beach. It's if you can 121 00:05:13,919 --> 00:05:15,199 get there, you can get there and 122 00:05:15,199 --> 00:05:16,720 experience something. So, here we are 123 00:05:16,720 --> 00:05:20,080 backstage. On this side we have cameras 124 00:05:20,080 --> 00:05:22,560 and the other side the sound. As we come 125 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:23,800 through here we start to see the 126 00:05:23,800 --> 00:05:26,400 backstage all the quick change. We've 127 00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,000 taken the whole touring stage where we 128 00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,639 sit it on top of this structure. So this 129 00:05:30,639 --> 00:05:32,160 whole stage is a meter higher than 130 00:05:32,160 --> 00:05:34,400 normal. But basically because the the 131 00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,560 show is so complex with the roots of the 132 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:38,160 stage and everything else, we had to 133 00:05:38,160 --> 00:05:40,400 build this on a floor. So to make it 134 00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,240 level so we're not sinking into the sand 135 00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,080 etc. Then the other reason for raising 136 00:05:44,080 --> 00:05:46,639 up the floor, at least in this area, we 137 00:05:46,639 --> 00:05:48,080 want all the fans in between the 138 00:05:48,080 --> 00:05:50,479 catwalks to feel the same relationship 139 00:05:50,479 --> 00:05:53,039 to M. Here we have our follow spot. It's 140 00:05:53,039 --> 00:05:54,479 recreating everything that means that 141 00:05:54,479 --> 00:05:56,160 the lighting comes in for the same angle 142 00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:58,000 as it does on the arena. The cameras for 143 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:00,240 the tour are all here. The stage gets 144 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:02,880 slippy. So, we had to carpet prepared 145 00:06:02,880 --> 00:06:04,639 with knowing that we have to cover the 146 00:06:04,639 --> 00:06:06,160 stage. So, tonight we will rehearse on 147 00:06:06,160 --> 00:06:07,680 the carpet to the stage for the first 148 00:06:07,680 --> 00:06:09,520 time. Right now, we've fenced off around 149 00:06:09,520 --> 00:06:11,280 the site so that people can't see while 150 00:06:11,280 --> 00:06:12,720 we're rehearsing the show night. All 151 00:06:12,720 --> 00:06:14,080 these silver fences will be gone. It's 152 00:06:14,080 --> 00:06:17,319 going to be a thing. It's going to be a 153 00:06:17,319 --> 00:06:19,160 celebration 154 00:06:19,160 --> 00:06:22,199 [Music] 155 00:06:22,199 --> 00:06:24,800 [ __ ] And my name is Rita. I'm a 156 00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:28,400 Donna stylist and also costume designer 157 00:06:28,400 --> 00:06:30,720 for a whole show. 158 00:06:30,720 --> 00:06:33,759 Em has been doing this for 40 years. And 159 00:06:33,759 --> 00:06:35,600 so being able to learn from her, 160 00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:37,360 especially costumewise, you know, how 161 00:06:37,360 --> 00:06:38,720 can we make something that's still 162 00:06:38,720 --> 00:06:40,800 really amazing, but make it work so she 163 00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,919 can change out of it in 10 164 00:06:42,919 --> 00:06:45,600 seconds. The dancers represent her 165 00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:47,680 entire life and have her represent her 166 00:06:47,680 --> 00:06:50,080 entire life. It's been a really deep 167 00:06:50,080 --> 00:06:51,680 dive into her history and even just 168 00:06:51,680 --> 00:06:54,080 fashion history from the 80s until 169 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:56,479 current day. So, it's all a big 170 00:06:56,479 --> 00:06:59,880 challenge, but I love the challenge. 171 00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:02,639 Honestly, each look takes about three to 172 00:07:02,639 --> 00:07:04,319 four fittings. This is an 173 00:07:04,319 --> 00:07:06,400 understatement. No waste yet. Hi, I'm 174 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:09,680 the Brazilian frag in bling on it. Oh, 175 00:07:09,680 --> 00:07:12,160 we're we're done.

What helps give 178 00:07:17,280 --> 00:07:19,560 the illusion of everything is all the 179 00:07:19,560 --> 00:07:23,360 line and this doesn't have it. Yeah. M 180 00:07:23,360 --> 00:07:25,360 is very specific.
