In the summer of 2018, as the Art Director and team leader for the Canadian-Italian collaboration, I helped bring the Colosseum of Rome back to life through the nightfall show SANGUE E ARENA. Working closely with Electa Editore and the Parco archeologico del Colosseo, we crafted an immersive experience with stunning lights and holographic video effects.
Presented in both English and Italian, the show transports visitors to ancient Rome for 30 minutes, featuring the grandeur of gladiatorial games, naval battles, fierce beasts, and mythical figures. The script, rooted in extensive scientific and archaeological research, accurately recreates the Roman games of the first century AD, narrated by Martial, a poet who witnessed the events organized by Emperor Titus.
