Inside Vivid Sydney, World’s Largest Light Festival

Published: June 9, 2014

Two more beautiful displays that were a part of this year’s Vivid Sydney:

Spirit of Patyegarang

The Bangarra Dance Theatre presents its new production at the Sydney Opera House, Patyegarang.

Projected onto the southern pylon of the Sydney Harbour Bridge, the Spirit of Patyegarang is a video installation marking the first indigenous contribution to the Light Walk.

“Through a fusion of dance movements and music soundscape and thanks to video projections supported by TDC, the important story of Patyegarang will awake and inspire with the sensations and emotions of ‘first contact,’” says Bangarra’s Executive Director, Philipe Magid.

Play Me

The building of the Sydney Customs House becomes a series of ‘musical sculptures’ in this poetic explosion of color, light and sound.

Not only that, but the audience can manipulate and move the lights and sounds using a simple touchscreen.

“Each of these ‘sculptures’ depicts a family of musical instruments which the audience can ‘play’ in real-time using a touch screen located on a platform in front of Customs House bringing it to life in glorious torrents of ever-changing color, light form and sound,” says Sergio Carrubba, director and projection designer at Danny Rose, the design team for this project.
