THE morning of Aug. 6 approaches. Once again the photograph of a scorched watch, with the hands fixed forever at 8:16, appears in newspapers and magazines to remind us of the exact moment the atomic bomb fell on Hiroshima. As always, we come to the anniversary of the first day of the Nuclear Age with a reluctance compounded of confusion and distress. And why not? Who would wish to bear witness again, for the 40th time, to that fireball in the sky, or to that wasteland underneath, made even more desolate by the domed building still perversely standing beside a single tree defoliated and twisted like a cross?

Maybe the 40th anniversary -- if the round number does little else -- ought to force us to acknowledge that we have reduced nothing to a formula except our habits of commemoration. In the four decades of the Nuclear Age no consensus has been reached on how this proliferating monster in our midst may be contained and controlled. Neither the people in the Pentagon nor the demonstrators who wind ribbons about them nor the negotiators at the SALT tables nor all the politicians in four decades of world hist ory have come even close to resolving the unprecedented dilemma tragically dramatized by Hiroshima.

Formed in Frankfurt in 1980, the band's stadium shows were meant to be 40th anniversary events in 2020 but were postponed until this year. Appelt, who worked with the band earlier in its career and lit the band's iconic farewell concert in 2005 before 120,000 fans, has continued to light shows for them after the band reunited in 2014.
Appelt has a long history with the Proteus series and has used the Proteus Excalibur on several outdoor shows this year, including the Vienna Philharmonic Summer Night Concert. He comments, "A lot of our input from our experience with the Proteus on large scale projects like the Burj Khalifa tower in Dubai I can now find in the Proteus Excalibur, which is the reason why I like the fixture very much. They really listened when we gave feedback -- big output, the diameter of the lens, better colors, etc. -- and we found that is has been fulfilled in the Excalibur. It's a reliable fixture that also doesn't consume too much power, and with the advantage of it being IP65, for me it sets the standard in this range." 2ff7e9595c
