Zaccho Dance Theatre: The People's Palace
Projection design
Project Scope
It was incredibly rewarding to collaborate with Zaccho Dance Theatre on their latest stunning performance installation – this time inside the historic San Francisco City Hall. The People’s Palace was a grand scale performance piece, featuring aerialists, performers, and the Beaux Arts architecture of the building itself.
VE supported the choreography by enhancing the dramatic architecture of the historic building with projection design. We used Pixera for the 3D projection mapping of the interior, throwing images and text onto the walls and arches with projectors provided by 4Wall – all powered by VE PixelCannon servers.
