LIGHTING DESIGNER & Technical Director

What about me?

Hi, i'm Luis.

With over 17 years of experience in the entertainment industry as a lighting designer and technical director, I have developed an adaptive management capability that allows me to navigate solidly between disciplines as diverse as opera, contemporary ballet, theatre, and large-scale events.

My operational versatility has been validated both in the world-class infrastructure of the Teatro Colón and on unconventional stages and hostile industrial environments, managing everything from experimental setups to international licensed productions (Disney, Pixar, Star Wars). This comprehensive vision allows me to lead multidisciplinary teams and coordinate complex tour logistics, ensuring that each proposal maintains its technical and aesthetic integrity regardless of the scale or type of stage.

I developed a large part of my career at the Teatro Colón in Buenos Aires, where for 10 years I managed the technical complexity of one of the world's most demanding opera stages. My job consists of designing production ecosystems that guarantee safety, profitability, and excellence under conditions of maximum pressure.

Currently based in Italy, I seek to integrate my problem-solving capacity into projects that require a superior level of complexity. My goal is to apply seventeen years of technical and creative experience in the management of productions that demand precision engineering and impeccable execution. I am excited by the opportunity to collaborate in environments where rigour is the norm and where my operational maturity can secure the execution of your next major challenges.
