“THE LEGEND OF PANGU” LANZHOU - 2019 TO PRESENT

CHINA

PERMANENT SHOW


ECA2’S MISSION Turnkey Show Production Project: Show concept and design, creation, project development, artistic and technical production, show control and equipment supply, procurement, manufacturing, installation, integration, programming, follow-up, supervision, rehearsal and training of local operators

HIGHLIGHTS It’s immersive, it’s inspired, it’s putting Lanzhou back at the centre of the world stage! In this dazzling experience of spectacular combined effects, both indoor and outdoor, cutting-edge architecture and custom technology meet China’s ancient storytelling tradition. « The Legend of Pangu » is built at the historic cross-roads between East and West, where the Silk Road once brought intrepid travellers from afar. Like two colossal halves of a gigantic egg split open, the architecture of the theater embodies the story, a legend older than time, breathing fresh life into the very origins of the universe. The significance of the building’s curved forms is revealed as the story unfolds in beautifully human simplicity. When there were no appropriate technologies available, our team leveraged its expertise to create brand new technological solutions. Blending indoor and outdoor effects in a single hybrid venue is in itself a world first. After several months of R&D, a revolutionary new double-curve cascade screen was invented to allow high definition video projection on a curve that hugs the building’s inner contours. A radical new effect called Jet Fog was created, blending mist and smoke to form intensified density for laser, light and video effects. Lanzhou also hosts the team’s first sensational use of laser diodes.


Venue: Kingdom Center, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia

Project type: National Day Celebration Project date: 23rd September 2017 Show duration: 26 minutes Audience: Thousands of TV spectators Project development: 2,5 months

ECA2’S MISSION

• Show executive production

• Artistic production (music, video)

• Technical coordination

HIGHLIGHTS To celebrate its 87th National Day, Saudi Arabia’s General Entertainment Authority asked Comeanddo and ECA2 to sublimate the iconic Kingdom Center tower located in the center of Riyadh. It required an installation of 20,000+ sqm of micro-perforated stickers covering the tower’s south facade to offer one of the world’s largest projected image on a single surface. Around 200 high-end technologies of video, light, laser, sound were necessary to transform this large-scale public space into a one-night massive multimedia attraction.

HIGHLIGHTS How did we improve on the timeless perfection of such a historic city, already recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage site? How did we plug such a monumental technical set-up into the heart of a city that was never intended as an entertainment venue? This was the challenge facing the ECA2 team. The biggest sports event in Hungary’s history began in Budapest on July 14th 2017 with a spectacular opening ceremony. Completely breaking the mold of other sporting events ceremonies, a mesmerizing troupe of 500+ live performers interacted with sophisticated multimedia technologies, merging innovative dance with a maelstrom of special effects such as ten-meter-high flames, hyperactive lasers, night-beating lightbeams, fireworks and drones. Going even further, ECA2 applied their unique technical expertise to “borrow” the Danube, channeling its waters to take a powerful starring role as choreographed jets, sprays, and ingenious mid-air water screens where fabulous projected video images leave each spectator breathless. For this one night only, the Danube, the Buda Castle, the Chain Bridge… it all became a single vast theatre covering a total area of 200,000sqm including a challenging floating set-up right thereon the river with a size equivalent of 3 football fields.
