SIAM SONGKRAN MUSIC FESTIVAL

The initiation of this fairytale story came from the idea, “What would we find if we traveled to different stars?”  

This idea originated from the creative team of Siam Songkran Music Festival, and the zodiac of this year was the sea dragon, Capricorn. Talking with the designers, once they had the three main keywords Journey, Guardian God, Stars, they could clearly imagine how the stage design will be. 

The design began with the thought that if there is a guardian god of the gate, and the parallel world that will take everyone on a journey is the one hidden behind this gate. How can this gate open? Surely, it must require the magic of the guardian god to cast a spell that will take everyone on an adventure into this fairytale, they said. And this is how the guardian of this land begins.

The scenography started with designing Capricorn as the central character, representing the guardian god who protects and awaits to cast the spell. From there, the rest of the set was created to align with the idea, giving the stage a unified look. At the center there was a huge screen, acting as a gateway that transports all travelers into a parallel world. This screen served as the heart of the design, making the audience feel like they are stepped into another reality. Every part of the set, from the lights to the visuals, was carefully planned to make this journey into the magical world feel real and exciting. 

Dimensions and materials: 

Constructing such a large-scale stage was no easy task, especially with the inflatable Capricorn character as the centerpiece, standing 28 meters tall. 

This significant height brings the overall stage dimensions to an impressive 29.16 meters in height and 78.04 meters in width. We specifically chose an inflatable material for the Capricorn to achieve a striking 3D effect, while also addressing important factors like safety, weight, ease of installation, and the feasibility of bringing this concept to life. The rest of the stage decorations are made using a combination of wood, inkjet stickers, and vinyl, ensuring both durability and visual appeal. These materials allowed to create an immersive environment that not only looks captivating but also supports the technical requirements of the production.
