In moments of confusion or despair, it’s easy to feel adrift, overwhelmed by the vastness of the unknown. A beacon serves as a guiding light, cutting through the darkness and offering direction. It provides a steady point of focus, a promise of a way out, and a path forward. It is a reminder that no matter how far off course you may have strayed, there is always something to lead you back. Inspired by the treacherous waters of the North Sea, Beacons is designed around an ocean aesthetic with a lighthouse prop as a central point of focus that can be called back to throughout the show. The show begins with a ship leaving port, continues with it becoming lost in journey through rough waters, and concludes with the light of the lighthouse guiding it back home.

The story of Narcissus is a timeless cautionary tale about the dangers of self-obsession. In the wild mountains of Greece, a handsome young man named Narcissus grew up admired for his beauty, yet he scorned the love of others, caring only for himself. One day, while wandering, he discovered a crystal-clear pool of water. Leaning over to drink, he was captivated by a beautiful face reflected in the water. Unaware that it was his own image, Narcissus became entranced, unable to tear himself away. He spent day after day gazing at the face he so adored, yet could never touch. Eventually, overcome by his longing, he wasted away, forever in love with a reflection he could never possess. Visual themes including Greek architecture, nature-based props such as mountains, and reflective materials representing the pool of water will bring Man In The Mirror to life on the field.

Xponential is a thrilling exploration of power, growth, and understanding. The show begins by demonstrating the concept of power and its rapid, exponential increase—where every step forward builds on the last, creating a curve that grows steeper and more intense. Starting from nothing, we progressively add more, illustrating the power of X and how even the smallest change can lead to monumental results. As the show unfolds, we struggle to understand and harness this growing force. The show culminates with us mastering the power we’ve built, using it with full comprehension, and showing that true mastery comes only through understanding the forces we wield. The letter X is a powerful visual motif for this show and can be worked into every aspect of the design, from prop and silk designs to drill shapes and battery stick visuals.
