Ithra's Eid | Full show | Ithra, Dhahran, Saudi Arabia

This show celebrated the Big moment for Ithra’s Eid in Dhahran, Saudi Arabia in April.

The 5:55 minute contemporary show was developed specifically for the occasion and the iconic building. Our work is based on the idea of imagining a building reflecting on its own characteristics and constructional details in an abstract way.

A total of 30 high-performance projectors created a 270-degree image on the façade. Over 1,000,000 AnsiLumen of light output illuminated the 90-metre-high building, designed by the transdisciplinary studio Snohetta.

In 3 days, almost 70,000 spectators saw our show.

Many thanks to ComeAndDo and Filmmaster MEA for the professional support on site.

And a big “thank you” to the whole team of Ithra for the invitation and the great cooperation.
