Organize a New Year’s Eve corporate party during the difficult time of the pandemic to inspire the guests, emphasizing fortitude, solidarity and faith in a better future. The hall with the carriage seating made it more difficult for the audience to be close to the action, and a solution was needed to make each guest feel like a participant in the show.
At the entrance, the guests were asked to write their 2020 difficulties on glass bottles, which have become symbols of their hardships. At a key moment, these bottles were smashed, and a six-meter road was made out of the fragments. I walked along it barefoot along the hall, passing next to each guest, creating the effect of complete engagement without a scene.
My barefoot journey through broken glass symbolized overcoming the difficulties of the past year. The final phrase: "What I have done cannot compare to what you have been through" gave a powerful emotional response. The addition was the moment when one of the guests pressed his shoe on my head, an element of unexpected interaction that enhanced the realism.
The culmination of the event
The show caused a strong response: it was both amazing, inspiring and thought provoking. The guests were shocked by the realism of what was happening and the emotional depth of the message. It became a unique experience that not only entertained, but also touched every nerve in the heart.
