Forms of Barcelona, produced by Flock Drone Arte, is a commission from the ICUB, illuminated the sky of Barcelona with a unique, unprecedented and dazzling show tailor-made for the city, with clear references to its symbols
The show was offered over two nights, with the aim of accommodating more spectators while avoiding crowds.
The last weekend of the La Mercè festivities (Sunday 22 and Monday 24) of September, Barcelona hosted the show Formas de Barcelona, a production expressly commissioned by the city to the specialized company Flock Drone Art. This is an unprecedented choreography with a swarm of 300 drones that the firm will premiere at 10:00 p.m. at the Espigón del Gas.
Last year, Flock Drone Art The show took part for the first time in the La Mercè festivities. Following the success of the first show, the project was shown on two days instead of one to avoid crowds. Formas de Barcelona is a choreography of light, music and colour that is new and was designed exclusively for the city. This fusion of art and technology explores geometric shapes and transforms them into iconic symbols of Barcelona. The 300 drones danced for 16 minutes to the rhythm of original music.
It all starts with simple shapes of circles and squares, which gradually transform into the architectural wonders of Barcelona. Geometric shapes and Barcelona symbols continually merge and transform, creating a visual narrative that celebrates the interrelationship between art, architecture and urban space.
Thanks to its large-format shows, Flock Drone Arte has become one of the leading companies in the use of drones in mass events. In recent years, it has held hundreds of shows, making these shows one of the major bets for the coming years by public and private institutions that demand this service in their events. The shows of the Catalan company have toured Spain, Europe and Africa, gathering hundreds of thousands of people and have received international awards and recognition. Flock Drone Arte offers an innovative experience in the world of entertainment, lighting and communication. An avant-garde proposal that recalls the
The magic of fireworks but updated with the new technologies of aerial drone lights. Over the last year, the 1,000 drones of Flock Drone Arte have illuminated the skies of many points in Spain and Morocco, among others, to celebrate events and parties, bringing together hundreds of thousands of people.
