Designing the Hydeout World

As the leading production partner, we were challenged to set the tone for the audio visual stage design of the live-venues. Together with the audiovisual masterminds of Circus Family, we came up with 10 unique light-installations. All designed from scratch, each installation was made to seamlessly fit into the unique architectural features of the venues, creating a one-of-a-kind immersive Hydeout world.
