Thania Garcia It’s April 27, one day before the first of Rauw Alejandro’s two sold-out concerts at the Los Angeles Forum. His team is gearing up to bring next-level surround sound to the storied arena – which will see Alejandro singing and dancing for nearly three hours on a 360-degree stage – as they’ve done only twice before on the “Saturno World Tour,” in Miami and New York.
Putting on a 360-degree concert is not only complicated and costly, it is enormously physically demanding for the performer, who must project in all directions instead of one.
It’s taking a toll: In the hour leading up to showtime, Alejandro, swatched in bandages, hops from an exercise machine to a massage table where a team of physical therapists gets to work on his lower body.
In the week that follows, doctor’s orders force him to postpone a show in Palm Springs due to injury – despite his constant efforts to go ahead. “When you’re exposed on a 360-stage, you can’t be on one side more than the other at any point throughout the show,” Alejandro tells Variety. “There’s a formula to the choreography and a science behind knowing ‘I’ve been here for a while, I need to change it up – give the same level of energy, equally to every person on each side of that stage.’ It’s harder than just singing on a traditional front-facing stage.
