These groundbreaking live musical performances will feature a full symphony orchestra, festive characters including Santa, the Grinch and Elsa, and cutting-edge projection-mapping technology where intricate lighting designs and captivating visuals overlap, turning some of South Beach’s most iconic building façades into interactive exhibits with vibrant imagery. Every surface during these awe-inspiring productions will become a living canvas as the projections play off the buildings’ various shapes and textures in perfect unison with the rhythm of the music.

What is Projection Mapping?
Projection-Mapping Technology has the capability of rebranding and revitalizing the performing arts to be more accessible to all generations.
Projection mapping is a technological innovation that overlaps video onto all surfaces in a given space, turning ordinary objects - such as stages, buildings, and roads - into interactive displays. Every surface becomes a canvas, with graphic projections that play off the surface’s shape and textures to create a delightful experience of light and illusion. In indoor theater settings, audiences sit in the center of a room with a continuous 360-degree graphic display wrapped around the room, coming to life as they interact with performers and other production elements. A unique audiovisual narrative where the video scenes are triggered by music from our live performances.
