Three images on a multicolored field. The first image is of a dance peace with beautiful amber lighting catching the dancers bodies as they rip apart massive paper in front of blue projections. The second image is of a musical set with actors lit in strong dynamic and primary red and blue light. The third image is of dancers in isolating blue downlight and live feed of the dancers projected onto the wall behind them.
