Preparations

Show Preparation & Pre-Production Images, December 2001-March, 2002:

Vassara Square in July – warm weather, no snow.

8 months later – rigging the stage.

The idea of making an illusion of an ice cave develops.

Pictures, music, dialogue – all has to be carefully coordinated to create an intriguing pulse of the performance.

Pyrotechnics are discussed, Njord obviously doesn't want to hear.

Cable checking in the monitoring unit.

Searching for the same cables the day after.

A specially designed snow and ice sculpture is lifted onto the stage.

Early morning of the opening day.

Final adjustments of the ice scenography.

After a night of heavy snow-fall, some excavations have to be made.

At 8 pm, everything is set. The show can start.
