The popular festival of Saint Sebastian (Palma de Mallorca, Spain) has as its main protagonists fire and devils. More than 1000 performers of 23 groups acted in a performance where devils take over the city for a night.
This event was an incredible audiovisual spectacle unprecedented: A massive 3D Mapping projection, it was over the Cathedral of Palma de Mallorca. This huge event also was accompanied of fireworks, giant beast, a great popular participation and an amazing sound system.
The audiovisual performance known as 3D Mapping, it is a technique which consist to projected video on buildings, adapting to its shape. It was done by the audiovisual company Palnoise, who creates cool 3D effects and optical illusions, making it look as though buildings are crumbling, changing their structure and more.
Public attending, 60.000 people, and hundreds of thousands TV viewers (RTVE, IB3, Tele5, TV3) saw the virtual destruction of the Cathedral, facade cracked and burst the windows, while a flock of birds appear from the darkness comes the collapse of the temple. Physically at the same time, hundreds of devils with flaming torches conquered the Cathedral.
