How much height do you have inside the ceiling?
If you have the space and some fabrication skills (or can hire some), some sort of a truss build up from say 1" square Al tubing could work well. One straightforward design would be top and bottom chords with zigzag diagonals between them; the diagonals could be rather lighter than the chords. Think of, for example, stage lighting trusses (or rather one side of them as they're usually triangular or square rather than flat).
For that matter, you could also build up a wooden truss or beam if there's sufficient space. Something like a miniature I-joist should work well and not be especially difficult to construct.
