Story:
IN 2019, 2ENTERTAIN AND LIVE NATION JOINTLY PRODUCED THE SHOW ”IT TAKES A FOOL TO REMAIN SANE,” A TRIBUTE TO THE MUSICAL JOURNEY OF OLA SALO AND HIS CELEBRATED BAND, ”THE ARK,” ONE OF SWEDEN’S MOST POPULAR ROCKBANDS FROM THE LATE ’90S AND TROUGHOUT THE ’00S.
GREEN WALL DESIGNS PROUDLY CONTRIBUTED TO THE CREATIVE TEAM, DESIGNING AND PRODUCING VIDEO CONTENT FOR THE SHOW’S LED SCREENS. ADDITIONALLY, WE PROVIDED VIDEO PROGRAMMING AND TECHNICAL DIRECTION FOR THE VIDEO CONTROL SYSTEM. OUR DEDICATED TEAM WORKED DILIGENTLY TO ENSURE SEAMLESS INTEGRATION OF THE SET’S MOVING SCREENS AND SET PIECES WITH THE DISGUISE MEDIA SERVERS.
THE RESULT WAS A PRODUCTION THAT WAS MET WITH HIGH PRAISE AND DESCRIBED AS OUTSTANDING, SPECTACULAR, AND EXTRAVAGANT BY BOTH AUDIENCES AND CRITICS. THE SHOW ENJOYED TREMENDOUS SUCCESS, AS EVIDENCED BY STRONG TICKET SALES AND AN IMPRESSIVE SERIES OF OVER 100 PERFORMANCES IN STOCKHOLM AND GOTHENBURG THROUGHOUT THE YEAR.
