My Grandmother's Amazing Ghost — Digital Water Lantern Cross-Media Stage

BRIEFING

A thousand digital water lanterns released inside a theatre — taking stage magic to another level. Built around the Ghost Month tradition of releasing water lanterns, the piece combines 5G projection tech to recreate the ritual on stage, inviting the audience to text in a message for a loved one who's passed, which is then turned into a lantern drifting slowly out to sea. Live performers and animation blend real and virtual together, merging stage performance with new media tech — the audience isn't just watching, they're genuinely part of the show. Every text message is fed straight into the system's database and instantly rendered as a lantern on the big screen behind the performers.
