Ninja Ballet in Tulum, Mexico

Ninja Ballet at Casa de la Cultura de Tulum
Director: Shoko Tamai
Projection & Lighting Design: Matt Reynolds
Stage Design: Pedro Cuni

"[Matt Reynolds] created a moving backdrop projection that set each scene in a new, fantastic locale, transporting the audience from the advent of ballet in Italy and France, to the rice fields of Japan and the beaches of Mexico. The images cleverly interacted with the performers onstage, as in a solo by Alejandra Rivera, performing with a balloon on a string...Reynolds’ lighting design used deep reds and purples, evoking the sense of being near the campfire, as if the dancers and audience were huddling together in a semi-circle, with the sacred fire in the center of the stage...creating a modern look at an ancient tradition." -Radio Tulum
