When was the last time
you looked up at the sky?
Like the memories of those days,
searching for shooting stars,
chasing the stories of constellations,
a fleeting space-time born in the city,
'Illuminium.'
'Illuminium' is
a permanent night entertainment
that fuses music and light dance,
delivering messages and stories from the sky
through 'Light Dance,' a new realm of expression born beyond drone shows.
Here, every weekend,
Light Dance works designed with hit songs as motifs
will vividly color the night sky of those who look up.
With 'Light Dance' and 'Illuminium,'
drone shows will be reborn
from 'something to be watched' to a 'culture to be experienced.'
The works created by
storyists (scriptwriters) and
illuminators (directors)
will accumulate as experiences that make you want to go see them again,
and will eventually be passed on to 'Illuminium' spreading to night skies nationwide.
At the end of the Light Dance,
two lines floating in the city's night sky.
At that moment,
who
will you think of?
