The Carnival of the Animals: a look behind the scenes
Dive into the work of the teams involved in staging the concert "The Carnival of the Animals", from the construction of the sets and props to lighting and projection design.
An intimate look at the backstage of a production that brings handcrafted artistry back into the spotlight, where large animals and other scenic elements are built by hand using simple materials such as backdrop paper, cardboard, and drafting tape. The central idea is to revive artisanal techniques and mechanisms inspired by the 18th century – a pre‑electricity era – to recreate a sense of magic through manual scenography and mechanisms operated by the stage crew.
