Compact event environments still require careful scenic coordination when branding, entertainment and guest-facing functions need to feel consistent. For Le Pear Societe Marketing LLC in Dubai, Evolution Scenic delivered a focused package of custom fabrication and branded event elements designed to strengthen the visual identity of the space.

The scope included a bespoke DJ counter, branded media wall, registration backdrop and stage skirting. Each component was developed to improve presentation, support event functionality and create a more polished overall environment.

The Challenge

The event required several distinct scenic elements to support entertainment, registration, media coverage and stage presentation within one consistent visual language.

The DJ area needed to function as a prominent entertainment focal point, while the media wall and registration backdrop had to provide clear branded moments for photography, guest arrival and event coverage.

The main stage also required a more refined finish, making stage skirting an important part of the wider scenic treatment.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic fabricated a custom DJ counter designed to provide a clean and professional focal point within the entertainment area.

A branded media wall was constructed and installed to create a strong visual background for photography, event coverage and guest interaction.

A dedicated registration backdrop was also produced, helping structure the arrival and check-in area while reinforcing the event identity from the first guest touchpoint.

Stage skirting was supplied and installed to improve the appearance of the main stage and create a more complete finish for presentations and performances.

By coordinating the individual components as one scenic package, Evolution Scenic created a visually consistent event environment across entertainment, registration, media and stage areas.

Luxury cultural events demand environments where art, architecture, furniture and technical integration operate as one carefully controlled experience. For the eighth edition of Prada Mode in Downtown Dubai, Evolution Scenic delivered bespoke scenic and artistic elements for the two-day programme at ICD Brookfield Place.

Centred around Damien Hirst’s Pharmacy concept, the event combined contemporary art, music, dining and conversation within a highly curated setting. Evolution Scenic’s scope included a suspended DNA molecule, a custom central bar, bespoke furniture, a life-sized medical display cabinet, column and window treatments, and collaborative rigging coordination with FARO Studio lighting designers and VCA Projects.

The Challenge

Prada Mode required a scenic environment that could support a highly distinctive artistic concept while maintaining the level of refinement expected from an international luxury fashion house.

The suspended DNA molecule needed to achieve significant visual impact while remaining lightweight enough for overhead installation. Its form, material choice and internal weight distribution therefore had to be considered carefully.

The existing venue architecture also needed to be transformed without losing its premium character. Eight-metre-high circular columns, windows, furniture and bar elements all had to contribute to the wider Pharmacy-inspired visual language.

The ceiling conditions added another layer of complexity, requiring accurate scanning and close collaboration with the wider design and rigging teams to position suspended scenic and lighting elements safely.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic fabricated a large-scale Styrofoam DNA molecule as one of the principal visual features of the event.

The structure was engineered specifically for suspension, with material strength and weight distribution considered throughout the fabrication process so that the sculptural form could be installed safely while maintaining its intended scale.

A custom central bar was designed and built as a major functional feature within the space, supported by bespoke comfort furniture tailored to the luxury hospitality environment.

A life-sized medical display cabinet was also fabricated in response to Damien Hirst’s Pharmacy concept, creating a more literal connection between the scenic environment and the artistic narrative.

Eight-metre-high circular columns were wrapped with custom wallpaper to transform the venue architecture, while transparent vinyl graphics were applied to the windows to extend the visual treatment across the wider interior.

Ceiling scans were carried out to support the rigging strategy, with Evolution Scenic collaborating with FARO Studio lighting designers and VCA Projects to coordinate the suspended scenic and lighting installations accurately and safely.

Opening ceremonies require scenic elements that operate at architectural scale while responding precisely to choreography, lighting and live performance.

For the Expo 2020 Opening Ceremony on 1 October 2021, Evolution Scenic produced six large-scale kinetic flower sculptures and a collection of engineered scenic features for the performance beneath the Al Wasl Dome.

The package included moving flowers with illuminated details, interactive six-metre performance poles, manually operated flower props, a motorised stage-reveal mechanism and a 12-metre-diameter rehearsal stage. Each element combined specialist fabrication with mechanical movement, technical integration and detailed testing.

The Challenge

The scenic features needed to remain visually effective against the immense scale of the Al Wasl Dome while integrating closely with performers and the ceremony’s choreography.

The six kinetic flowers required dependable movement and illumination without restricting their scenic appearance. Hydraulic mechanisms, fibre optics, LEDs, batteries and wireless controls needed to be integrated within the fabricated forms.

The performance poles had to allow artists to move in different directions while suspended from their upper sections. This required careful attention to their bases, counterweights and structural behaviour.

A separate motorised quick-release system was also required for a precisely timed stage reveal. All elements needed to be delivered early enough for rehearsals and produced within the ceremony’s fixed timeframe.

Strict site-access and health requirements applied throughout delivery. Crew members were required to complete venue inductions and undergo regular COVID-19 testing.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic designed and fabricated six giant kinetic flower sculptures in different forms. Hydraulic systems were integrated with the petals to create controlled blooming movement, including twisting, spiralling and synchronised sequences.

Fairy lights, fibre optics and battery-powered LED systems were incorporated into the flowers to produce changing colours and illuminated effects. Wireless functionality allowed the movement and lighting to operate without visible connections interfering with the performance.

Additional flower props were fabricated with spring mechanisms, enabling dancers to open and close them manually during the ceremony.

Six-metre-high scenic poles were constructed with circular bases, integrated LED decoration and counterweights. These structures allowed performers positioned at the top to swing and travel in multiple directions as part of the choreography.

For the stage reveal, the team developed a motorised quick-release mechanism using a steel-wire system. Its operation was tested and refined to ensure the reveal could be synchronised with the live performance.

A 12-metre-diameter rehearsal stage was also constructed and delivered to the client’s designated location, providing a full-scale environment for daily performer rehearsals.

The scenic elements were produced using timber, metal and fabric, with repeated testing undertaken to verify movement, durability and safe operation before delivery to Expo.

Donor events require environments that recognise individual contributions while communicating the wider purpose and achievements of an organisation.

On 6 March 2018, Sandooq Al Watan hosted its inaugural Al Awa’el Retreat at Manarat Al Saadiyat in Abu Dhabi. The event honoured donors and supporting partners and was attended by His Highness Sheikh Mohamed bin Zayed Al Nahyan.

Evolution Scenic delivered a refined event environment comprising a custom stage with an integrated screen, a commemorative photography platform, an interactive achievements gallery and a symbolic donor tree installation.

The Challenge

The inaugural retreat needed to recognise Sandooq Al Watan’s donors and partners while communicating the organisation’s role in supporting the UAE’s social and economic development.

The event required spaces for presentations, awards, donor recognition, commemorative photography and organisational storytelling. Each area needed to fulfil its specific function while maintaining a consistent and prestigious visual identity.

The scenic environment also needed to introduce meaningful symbolism without detracting from the formal character of the occasion.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic designed and fabricated a bespoke stage incorporating a built-in presentation screen. The integrated structure provided a clear focal point for speeches, presentations and awards.

A dedicated platform was constructed for donor recognition and commemorative group photography, giving official moments an appropriately designed setting.

The team also created an interactive gallery presenting Sandooq Al Watan’s principal achievements. Visual storytelling and scenic display techniques were combined to make the organisation’s work accessible and engaging for guests.

A bespoke donor tree formed a symbolic feature within the environment. Individual donor names were represented as leaves, expressing how separate contributions combined to support community growth and shared progress.

Premium scenic finishes were applied throughout the stage, gallery and recognition areas to maintain a cohesive standard appropriate to the event and venue.

Scenic elements for live performance must do more than establish a visual world.

When performers interact directly with scenery, every structure must balance creative intent with movement, durability and performance functionality.

For Terhal by Dragone in Diriyah, Riyadh, Evolution Scenic designed and fabricated a collection of movable scenic elements inspired by traditional Saudi environments. The scope included authentic market carts engineered to become parkour obstacles and a custom land-based abra combining traditional Arabian boat styling with a self-powered buggy system.

Working across engineering, fabrication and scenic finishing, the team developed performance-ready structures that contributed to the visual identity of the production while responding to the physical demands of live acrobatic performance.

The Challenge

The scenic elements needed to appear authentic within the cultural world of the production while functioning as active pieces of performance equipment.

The market carts needed to support parkour sequences, requiring robust construction and controlled mobility.

At the same time, the custom Arabian boat needed to move independently across the performance space while retaining the appearance and character of a traditional abra.

Rehearsals introduced additional considerations. The uneven, sand-like performance flooring affected the movement of the carts, while the buggy boat required responsive braking and manoeuvrability for controlled positioning during the show.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic combined engineering, fabrication and specialist scenic finishing to develop each element around both its visual and performance requirements.

A collection of Saudi street market carts was designed and fabricated to serve simultaneously as scenic props and parkour obstacles. Their construction needed to withstand repeated interaction with performers while remaining movable during the production.

Following rehearsals on the sand-like flooring, the caster configuration was adapted with manual braking systems, improving control and allowing the carts to be positioned more effectively during performance.

For the show's custom land-abra, Evolution Scenic fabricated a traditional Arabian boat around a self-powered buggy platform. The structure incorporated a functional steering tiller and rustic scenic treatment, concealing the underlying mobility system within an authentic-looking scenic piece.

The braking system was also refined during rehearsals to provide the controlled movement and accurate stage positioning required for live operation.

Delivery Highlights

• Saudi street market cart fabrication
• Performance-ready parkour obstacles
• Movable scenic structures
• Custom land-based Arabian abra
• Self-powered buggy system
• Functional steering tiller
• Rustic scenic finishing
• Engineering for live acrobatic performance
• Caster wheel adaptations
• Manual braking systems
• Rehearsal-led technical adjustments
• Integrated engineering, fabrication and scenic finishing

Outcome

The completed scenic elements became active components of the Terhal performance rather than static pieces of scenery. Market carts supported physical parkour sequences, while the custom land-abra introduced a mobile theatrical feature that combined traditional visual references with concealed mechanical functionality.

By responding to challenges identified during rehearsals and adapting the structures for the performance environment, Evolution Scenic delivered robust, controllable and visually convincing scenic elements capable of meeting the demands of a live production.

The project demonstrates Evolution Scenic's ability to integrate creative fabrication with practical engineering, particularly where scenery must move, carry performers or interact directly with choreography.

Seasonal attractions can combine entertainment with education when the scenic environment is designed to support both storytelling and participation. For Winter City 2023 at Expo City Dubai, Evolution Scenic delivered Santa’s Sustainable House as an immersive festive attraction built around Christmas storytelling, interactive engagement and sustainability.

The experience combined a sustainably built Santa’s House, a fully staged workshop environment, interactive scenic features and educational content. Each element was developed to maintain the warmth and character of a traditional Christmas setting while reflecting Expo City Dubai’s wider commitment to sustainability.

The Challenge

Santa’s Sustainable House needed to work simultaneously as a festive attraction, an interactive visitor experience and an educational environment.

The scenic design had to retain the recognisable visual language of Christmas while also introducing sustainability themes in a way that felt natural and engaging rather than instructional.

As part of Winter City 2023, the attraction also needed to integrate seamlessly with the wider seasonal environment and contribute to a consistent guest journey across Expo City Dubai.

The Solution

Evolution Scenic developed Santa’s Sustainable House as a themed scenic environment combining sustainable material choices, immersive storytelling and interactive visitor participation.

The house was designed and constructed using eco-friendly materials to align with the sustainability principles of Expo City Dubai.

Inside, a fully staged workshop environment was created with elves and themed scenic details, providing a setting where sustainable practices could be presented through a festive narrative.

Interactive scenic features allowed visitors to engage physically with the environment and explore sustainability themes through hands-on experiences. These elements were developed to support educational content without losing the warmth, humour and visual character expected from a Christmas attraction.

The overall scenic treatment was coordinated with the wider Winter City theme, helping Santa’s Sustainable House feel like an integral part of the seasonal destination rather than a standalone installation.
