01 Planning
Seasons of life turning like pages
On a stage that blends classical music, dance, and bandoneon, the book was given the story and the background tree the cycle of life. The order of scenes, beginning in space and passing through the four seasons, was organized into a cue sheet.
02 Design
Three surfaces: book, front, and floor
The large book structure on stage, the front screen, and the floor were each treated as a projection surface, and the projector layout was designed accordingly. Projection angles were set so the front and floor overlap and give the stage depth.
03 Production
Scenes drawn on tree, moon, and book
We separately produced a tree that changes color with each season, a fairy garden lit by the moon and flower shadows, and illustrated visuals fitted to the pages of the book. Scenes were divided so that the dancers' movement and the background connect.
04 Operations
A stage that stepped inside the book
During the performance, the illustrations on the book structure turned like pages, while the tree behind and the floor visuals changed with the music and dance. The audience experienced a stage that felt like stepping inside a picture book.
