PANASONIC PROJECTORS BRING THE VISION OF WORLD-FIRST CERCLE ODYSSEY IMMERSIVE CONCERT TOUR TO LIFE

Designed and directed by Derek Barbolla, founder and artistic director of Cercle, Cercle Odyssey fuses the creativity of globally-renowned musicians – including Moby and Empire of the Sun – and visual artists. Inspired by Homer’s epic poem within Greek literature, Odyssey, Cercle Odyssey reimagines the concert format as an unparalleled immersive artistic journey that explores the intimate bond between humans and nature.

Cercle Odyssey is the brainchild of Cercle, a multidisciplinary artistic movement that creates concerts, festivals, and immersive experiences, which innovatively showcases the work of renowned artists in unique global locations, including UNESCO World Heritage Sites.

“Cercle Odyssey’s partnership with Panasonic showcases our shared ambitions: to push technological boundaries and reinvent immersive experiences that emotionally resonate with, and unite audiences – whilst making them as accessible as possible to global audiences,” comments Derek Barbolla. “The 360° projections delivered by Panasonic – synchronised with live music – enables spectators to experience live entertainment and visual storytelling like never before.”

Sustainability is key for Cercle Odyssey, with the entire tour designed and implemented to minimise its overall carbon footprint. All sound, lighting, and projection equipment is locally sourced, significantly reducing transport-based emissions. By choosing projectors instead of traditional LED screens, energy consumption is significantly reduced, especially for the large projection areas utilised in each concert.
