The Australian Ballet proves you can define your performance with only one set piece and very pure light effects. The choreography features ballet dancers in front of a gigantic crystal-clear screen, which immediately captures the attention of every spectator.
See-through foil as a mirror to society
For this hypnotic piece, choreographer Alice Topp traded sugar plum fairies for an exploration on dealing with modern demons. By stripping down the set design to a gigantic glass foil screen tensioned in an XL-frame, the dance performance truly made a statement.
Scene after scene, you can feel the tension build up, as well-positioned lights beautifully reflect on the transparent foil. Together with the pure light design, smoke builds up behind the screen until it finally collapses. Watching the gigantic glass foil set-up fall down on stage in total silence is mind-blowing!
On the lookout for a scenic foil to imitate glass? Dazzle your audience with the wonderful effects of ClearScreen foil on stage.
