Legendary Ballet 'Aleko' Stage Recreated Digitally: Chagall's Massive Backdrops Revived After 83 Years

Canon Marketing Japan and the experimental cultural museum 'MoN Takanawa' have collaborated to digitally reproduce Marc Chagall's massive backdrop paintings for the ballet 'Aleko.' Using Canon's advanced photography equipment and the AI-powered 'Neural network Upscaling Tool,' the 15m wide by 9m high artworks—currently housed at the Aomori Museum of Art—have been digitized into high-resolution images. These will be projected onto a giant LED screen for performances running from May 29 to June 7, 2026, seamlessly blending Chagall's vibrant colors with modern ballet.
