World Air Games are being held in different types of aerial sports like Paragliding, Ballooning, Rotorcraft and Parachuting. Our task was to create show parts with advanced flight systems for the Opening Ceremony.

After a meeting on-site, numerous skype calls and a time of 6 months for preparation we travelled to Dubai with a cast of 25 artists, technicians, and project coordinators. A giant arch built by scaffolding and trussings over a semicircle screen and an inflatable globe of 6m diameter floating in a height of up to 20m - this was only the beginning of an impressive scenery symbolizing the first word of the event title: “WORLD“.

In addition we fascinated the audience with 1D, 2D, and 3D highspeed winch systems that made our aerialists fly over the heads of the spectators. With horizontal and vertical movements of 5m/sec the show represented “AIR“.

The live-action was synchronized smoothly with the visuals on screen. While watching a parachute jumping from a plane one could see our aerial performer flying in real over the audience. A mega-event that was breaking limits.
