Below the beautiful roof structure of the British Museum, in front of the wall surrounding the British Library that opened in 1857, a stage was built that allowed for days of rehearsals. Every evening after rehearsals, the stage was built down to allow for visitors to enter the Great Court the following day. A stunning amount of projectors facilitated a choreographed spectacle of dancers, wireless light objects and projection mapping on the facade of the Reading Room.
“Being asked to conceptualise a story about the union of ancient cultures and wisdom, in the pinnacle of historic collections of mankind is a true honour.”Koen Colmbijn — Creative Director
