The show was uniquely created for The Ford Academy Awards event -with the overall concept (& inspiration for the Ford company’s future) -metaphorically represented by “The Tree of Life”.
IE: We are interconnected; if our roots are strong we can nurture and grow a proud, powerful tree for all to enjoy fruit and shade into a powerful and proud future together.
The show was staged under a massive lighting truss structure designed as a very large “Tree of Life” –AV screens hung all over the tree from limbs reaching out off the stage over the audience.
