John Ewbank, Marco Borsato, Robin de Levita and his business partner Kees Abrahams produce a revolutionary musical at the Theater Amsterdam. Unprecedented 3D effects set the stage, Borsato hits the guideline in a pop musical about an adolescent girl
.
The 3D projections for Sky are staggering and the audience sees no difference anymore between what is real and animation. Photos: <. p> Robin de Levita, known as a producer of Anne and one of the originators of Soldier of Orange, John Ewbank has been around since 2002. The Levita: “I was living in New York and was just about in the Netherlands. In the car, I heard the song inside and I was so impressed that I bought the whole album. Out of nowhere I called John: “I have to meet you, your music, the ocean ‘”
He laughs. “I do not think I hasten to said I wanted to make a musical at . That word just sounds so old-fashioned. But I let his numbers processed in the sample script of the musical Carmen, when I was doing. By letting him see and hear, I could convince him that we had to work, his music fits perfectly into the theater. What we have now, basically all comes from that. “
The musical Sky, which will premiere in Amsterdam Theater on April 3, is packed full of Borsato numbers. From Saying goodbye does not exist, to his latest hit Pretty but also butterfly, Wash me and I can not do it alone. Robin de Levita, “The American scriptwriter Sarah Miles has made a wonderful story about adolescent girl Sky, which overcomes in her dream world all the problems they hitherto encountered in daily life. Of growing up without a father, and loves to adolescent bullying “
John Ewbank:”. A nice element of the show is that it is constantly switched between dream and reality. This switch can for the first time quite nicely by using the latest 3D technology, which allows the viewer sees no difference between what is real and animated on stage. We have long been busy with this musical and we wanted all along. But now that technically really good and the time is ripe to make this project a reality “
Tilt
De Levita”. The 24 actors and dancers move between the 3D projections. For example, a wardrobe can suddenly melt away if the room tilt 180 degrees. The technique goes so far that we are in a manner of speaking even able to walk about fifty people in 3D projected over the stage. The most progressive film animation company in the world, Platige in Poland, co-producer of this musical because it is a calling card for them. They are now the largest in creating 3D effects in movies and TV series. Theater applications are a relatively new branch. There are currently hundreds of animators working daily with our performance. “
John Ewbank already began composing in 2003 for Sky. “I thought it was such a good story that I was instantly inspired. I had no time twelve songs ready. Everything in English, because Robin still had the idea that he wanted to start in America. No problem, of course. I was born in England. “
Because John and Mark are such good friends, he did what he had written at the time also belong to him. “We would just begin Seeing the album. He was very enthusiastic and he has the first right on what I make. We have a large number of Sky appropriate numbers after consultation with Robin, then also recorded for this album. Hence, the public will recognize some of the songs in the musical. I estimate that about forty percent new material ended up in the show. “
Also what choreography is concerned done something totally new. De Levita “We have half a year searching for the best urban dance choreographers. San Diego is the renowned choreographer Keone Madrid and Mari about. It had an unexpected result. For the dance audition came more than a hundred people from around the world fly over but to work with them. A Spaniard said: “If I have to, I’m here sleeping under a tree and I’m doing it for free.” Such quantities are the “
Spraakmakend
Robin de Levita chooses Sky. First to launch in the Netherlands because he is now its own theater, Theater Amsterdam, has: “This is what we have built for Anne, but all with so much projection capabilities that we can be excellent from the feet. The sets with the Secret Annexe, we can easily put aside the rails, so we show always take once reprise. In the huge space that occurs we build the stage necessary for the revolutionary 3D decor “muses”. And how nice it is to work here in Holland. Also with director Bobby Boermans. With my friends around me and with so much bundled creativity I hope we can do something spraakmakends “
