Combining the choreography of a Broadway musical with the multimedia technology of the 21st century, “Window of the City” moved judges to hail it as “a heroic achievement of big thinking and execution.” A transparent 66-foot-tall screen surrounds the stage’s periphery, concealing a one-of-a-kind 30-by-33-foot LED-covered structure. While projectors cast shimmering images and Impressionist-soft colors on the diaphanous screen, the LED towers spin horizontally and vertically, running film footage, animations, and still pictures. Meanwhile, up to 36 “angels” flit and whirl 33 feet above the stage on a lattice of computer-controlled cables.
