On a stretch of coastline in southern Vietnam, Vietnam’s Sun Group has entrusted show producer ECA2 to create something special on the shores of Phu Quoc. “Kiss the Stars” is a multimedia show, operating in seawater and created around a love story that spans the galaxy.
Before “Kiss the Stars” could become a reality, it needed a stage. ECA2 created one to interact with existing elements, like the Kiss Bridge, Kiss Island, and even the cable car. The result is a massive outdoor theater. For ECA2, the aquatic stage represents the biggest of any of its projects worldwide. Fire and water play amidst light, lasers, and multiple speakers, all with the added challenges of operating in seawater.
The story tells of a boy who is a local from Sunset Town and a girl who is from somewhere at the center of our galaxy. Thanks to the Black Hole vortex, reproduced through special effects, the girl is transported to Earth. The Black Hole is a bridge across time and space that makes everything possible. The show was conceived to work as an all-multimedia experience, or as a hybrid one including dozens of live cast members.
