Artistic Approach
The video design covers all 25 pieces of Orff’s cycle. The visual material draws from naturalistic elements, colors, and textures, creating a real-time integration with the musical composition.
A pre-written video score ensures precise synchronization between the projected imagery and the live performance, employing modern video-mapping and light design techniques.
Visual Language
Rather than literal illustration, the projections create an atmospheric backdrop that breathes with the music—shifting from ethereal spring imagery to the darker tones of the tavern scenes, always serving the emotional arc of the work.
