Design Details
- Unique Properties
- In 2021 Huachenyu's Mars Concert broke new ground by transcending traditional indoor venues and leading the magic of music to the lush green lawns of Haikou, China. This marked not only a revolution in concert formats but also a profound integration of music and nature, creating a new chapter of a picturesque "music festival" by day and a star-studded concert under the night sky.
- Inspiration
- To fully cater to the diverse needs of both day and night, the stage design team meticulously considered every detail. Daytime stage design emphasizes the harmonious blend of nature and music, allowing the audience to bask in both the melodies and the charm of nature. Meanwhile, the nighttime stage focuses on the perfect coordination of lighting and sound, presenting the audience with a feast for both the eyes and ears.
- Research
- The stage design for this event is not only meant to present a visual feast but also to convey emotions, inspire contemplation, and evoke social values. Through meticulously designed stage settings, lighting effects, and visual elements, concert stage design can provide audiences with profound sensory experiences, awakening emotional resonance between the audience and the performers. Furthermore, stage design can also communicate positive values and social messages, stimulating people's interest in art, culture, and societal issues.
- Challenge
- To meet the special requirements of the extended platform for sound effects, our stage design and audio departments worked closely together, ingeniously integrating the sound system with the stage.
- Realization and Technology
- The main stage ingeniously captures the fantastical atmosphere of the "Martian Treehouse," immersing the audience into a universe full of mystery and exploration. Here, the desolation of Mars intertwines with the vitality of the treehouse, creating a magnificent tableau that leads the audience to experience the miracles and power of life. Meanwhile, the "home stage" serves as a relaxed and carefree haven, dedicated to hosting interactive performances that promote ease and freedom. In line with the Mars concert's consistent advocacy of "welcome home," it offers every audience member a sense of warmth and belonging.
- Operation and Interaction
- In preparation for an unprecedented music extravaganza, we have incorporated three groundbreaking and innovative stage designs, allowing the audience to immerse themselves in a sea of music. This stage design not only adapts to the fresh atmosphere of the daytime but also seamlessly integrates into the mysterious natural scenery of the nighttime stage. To meet the special requirements of the extended platform for sound effects, our stage design and audio departments worked closely together, ingeniously integrating the sound system with the stage.
- Project Duration and Location
- It is published on 05, December, 2021 and in Haikou, China.
- Specifications
- The stage design for this event draws inspiration from a setting filled with romance and fantasy—a grand treehouse located at a Martian base. This unique concept not only symbolizes the eternal vitality of life but also embodies our profound hopes for life's miracles. The entire design is meticulously divided into three striking sections, each crafted with ingenuity and awe-inspiring beauty. The main stage stands an impressive 25 meters tall, 74 meters wide, and 33 meters deep. The cozy and inviting "home stage" measures 18 meters in length and width, with two levels and a total height of 10 meters.
