The Unfrozen Toy Box

OVERVIEW

Created for LUMINO at Montréal’s Esplanade Tranquille, The Unfrozen Toy Box reimagines the outdoor skating rink as a large-scale interactive experience where movement, light, and play converge. The installation invites skaters to move through a series of visual worlds evolving in real time beneath their blades, turning the ice into a playful, living playground.

Designed for an ambitious setup featuring a massive LED wall at the back of the stage, along with additional screens on the floor and ceiling, the visuals played with perspective, light, and reflection to immerse the audience in a dreamlike atmosphere.

Innovative Stage Design

Singing Lights

Each visual sequence was designed to interact with the music, light and form becoming extensions of the band’s performance. The monolithic structures came alive, pulsing and shimmering in sync with the rhythm, creating moments where the stage itself seemed to sing.
