dreamstate Los Angeles

The Brief

In collaboration with Alteza Records, Visual Architects was commissioned to design and deliver two bespoke immersive stage designs for flagship events in London and Los Angeles.

—

The objective was to develop a cohesive touring stage concept that could adapt to two distinct venues and audiences, while maintaining a strong, recognisable identity and delivering a unique, high-impact experience at each location.

Main stage

The stage design transported audiences into a deep Amazonian jungle environment, combining architectural temple structures, mythical elements, and tribal symbolism to create an ethereal, immersive atmosphere. Towering warrior figureheads carved in faux-stone finishes formed the focal points of each stage, positioned beneath a dramatic canopy of hanging foliage and vines.

—

These sculptural elements were enhanced with fire effects and advanced 3D projection mapping, animating the structures with dynamic visuals that brought the environment to life. The integration of lighting, mapping, and scenic design created a powerful visual identity that evolved throughout each performance.

—

To further enrich the experience, the stage designs were paired with Amazonian-themed performers, who embodied a tribal narrative through live performance. The performers told the story of the four elements, Fire, Earth, Air, and Water, using specialised disciplines including fire performance, aerial displays, capoeira, and contortion, adding movement, storytelling, and spectacle to the immersive setting.

THE RESULT

The Amazonian stage concept became a touring, narrative-led showcase, delivering a visually striking and immersive identity for the Alteza Records × Vini Vici performances. Successfully transforming both Troxy in London and a large-scale festival arena at Dreamstate in Los Angeles, the design reinforced the tour’s global presence and established the stage environment as a defining feature of the live experience.
