OG BUDA

A2 GREEN CONCERT - ST. PETERSBURG

For the artist's solo show, OOPS TEAM created a setup that reflects their desire to connect more closely with the audience.  

 

The concept was built around the ideas of openness, sincerity, and interaction, which became the central elements of the entire production.  

 

The stage design was developed with a minimalist aesthetic in mind, stylistically aligned with rap culture. Its shape resembles the contours of a stapler—a simple, functional, yet powerful structure. This imagery symbolizes the cohesion of the show's elements: the artist, the music, and the audience, uniting them into a single whole. 

 

The key feature of the stage was stage thrust extending into the audience. This construction literally breaks the barrier between the artist and the crowd, allowing the audience to feel the artist’s presence much closer. Every step the artist takes on this platform feels like a move toward the audience, emphasizing openness and accessibility.  

 

This element became not only an architectural solution but also a powerful visual symbol. 

The stage is framed by LED screens positioned at the back, top, and bottom, complementing the "stapler" concept. Their modularity allows the stage to adapt to any emotional and visual task, from creating an immersive effect to zoning the space.  

 

These transformations instantly refocus the audience's attention on key moments of the show. Lighting fixtures installed on the ceiling and at the rear of the stage add drama and depth. Focused lighting highlights the artist, while dynamic lighting enhances the emotional impact on the audience. 

 

The minimalist design of the setup keeps the focus on the essential—the artist and their music. At the same time, the structure’s technological sophistication ensures impressive visual effects that make the performance modern and captivating.  

 

The setup not only meets the genre's demands but also makes the show multifaceted and versatile. It combines scale with intimacy, allowing the artist to be as genuine as possible with their audience.
