Claypaky took center stage at Stage of Tomorrow (Scena Jutra), held on April 13–14, 2026 at the Palace of Culture and Science in Warsaw, and organized by the Scena Jutra Foundation, with the support of Claypaky’s Polish distributor, Prolight.
Scena Jutra is a platform that brings together professionals from the entertainment industry, fostering meaningful connections, the exchange of ideas, and the discovery of new opportunities in a unique environment for networking and inspiration. Over two intensive days of conferences, in-depth sessions, and live demonstrations, the event celebrated and promoted lighting culture in all its forms. With more than a thousand attendees each day, Scena Jutra attracted a highly diverse audience, ranging from experienced lighting designers and technicians to young talents eager to enter the industry.
Scena Jutra has become an important platform for our industry, bringing together professionals from different disciplines as well as the younger generation, encouraging dialogue and creating space for learning and exchange. It’s not just about showcasing products, but about educating, inspiring, and strengthening the entire community, said Alena Turiakova, Marketing Director at Claypaky.
Claypaky played an active and prominent role throughout the event. One of the three stages, the Discussion Stage, was designed by lighting designer Artur Szyman and set up by the Polish rental company Shadok. The stage featured a smart and visually striking setup combining cutting-edge 3D video graphics with dynamic lighting.
In this high-tech environment, 12 Volero Cube units, 24 Tambora Batten fixtures, and 4 Arolla Aqua from Claypaky delivered flawless performance, enhancing the immersive experience.
On the Academy Stage, Claypaky Product Specialist Giulia Sabeva delivered an educational presentation titled Smart Technology Choices in Modern Entertainment Lighting: LED, Laser and Still the Lamp. Her session explored the advantages and disadvantages of each technology, concluding that there is no single “best” solution, only the one best suited to specific application needs.
The highlight of the event, however, was undoubtedly the exclusive session with legendary lighting designer Patrick Woodroffe. Renowned for his work with global icons such as The Rolling Stones, AC/DC, Genesis, and Michael Jackson, as well as for his involvement in the Glastonbury Festival and Olympic Games ceremonies, Woodroffe brought decades of experience and insight to the stage.
The session unfolded as an engaging and dynamic conversation, led by Francesco Romagnoli, Claypaky’s Sales Strategy & Processes Manager, and Alena Turiakova. Woodroffe captivated the audience with stories from his career, sharing not only his experiences but also valuable advice for the next generation of lighting professionals.
He also spoke about his long-standing relationship with Claypaky, both as a user of its products and as a collaborator in seminars and workshops around the world. The friendships he has built with the Bergamo-based team have become an important part of his life.
It was a pleasure to take part in this event. Prolight and Claypaky organized it flawlessly. It is a very valuable initiative for the industry, as it brings together professionals from across the sector. I am passionate about sharing the culture of lighting with younger generations, and I was very impressed by both the audience’s reactions and the thoughtful questions, said Patrick Woodroffe.
Alena Turiakova added: “Patrick Woodroffe is not only an iconic lighting designer; he is also an extraordinary communicator. Charismatic and approachable, he has a unique ability to connect with people. I am sure attendees will take away a lasting and inspiring memory from this experience. And as Claypaky, we are proud to be part of it”.
