Illusionist presents: FEI World Cup Closing Ceremony
Our studio created a groundbreaking interactive multimedia stage show featuring an Arabian Horse for the first time in the history of performing arts. We had the honor of presenting this show at the closing ceremony of the Fédération Equestre Internationale World Cup Finals 2024 Riyadh.
Using a 360-degree gauze curtain, an 80-meter-wide floor mapping and interactive technologies at the Riyadh Convention Center, we narrated the roots and beauty of the Arabian Horses and also journey of Kingdom of Saudi Arabia with this majestic creature.
In this unforgettable 15-minute performance, audiences were mesmerized by the real time interactive animations of our studio accompanied with Santi Serra and beautiful White Arabian, Shaklan.
We extend our gratitude to His Excellency Prince Abdullah bin Fahad, President of the Saudi Equestrian Federation and Blink Experience for their endless support throughout the project.
