Q Brothers Collective & The Chicago Children's Choir, Chicago IL | February 2018
Projection Design
- Direction The Q Brothers Collective
- Lighting Nick Belley
This show as a modern hip-hop musical version of The Odyssey, by Homer. Three heroes go through a magical journey through Chicago music genres - gospel, punk, house, and blues - to get to a rap competition. Featuring the Q Brothers, several leads, and more than 70 Chicago Children's Choir members as the chorus, this show was a massive undertaking at The Studebaker Theatre in Chicago.
We used a large 20,000 lumen projector to accomplish a lot of different looks for this show. There was a number of scenic elements and performers that had to be masked and we integrated a lot of moving video to look like pieces of the set.
