SZA

2023

IMMANENT teamed up with Human Person to create immersive stage environments for SZA's North American SOS Tour that began in February 2023 and will tour through March. Directed by Ian Valentine, the creative teams brought to life SZA's vision of her aquatic themed narrative: a voyage at sea becoming shipwrecked only to be saved and to survive! The Immanent team mainly focused on the harbor and boat portions of the show. The ambitious and elaborate production must be experienced live, catch it in your city if you can.

2022

 

Immanent teamed up with Human Person to deliver a harbor inspired stage creation for SZA The production debuted during her 2022 headline performance for Wireless Fest in London. Human Person came up with the stage design, direction, and lighting for the show, a lighthouse perched over a dock and supplemented with sea props. Immanent created the virtual environments to extend this set using Unreal Engine. We explored day and night looks with epic sunset skies and aurora filled starry night and created a variety of weather conditions from boats floating by in calm waves to robust storms crashing against the dock. The result is a fantastic stage experience that SZA dominated.
