At Coachella, the Dragon met its most demanding operational test: a completely empty stage, a hard 28-minute window, and a global audience waiting. The response was a record deployment of under 10 minutes — turning the act of installation itself into a form of performance.
At Coachella, the challenge was to execute an installation almost entirely from scratch on a completely empty stage, within a strict time limit of 28 minutes. To achieve this, a dedicated rapid-installation system was developed, including custom-built dollies and cranes, and the process was rehearsed over several days with precise team coordination. The installation was completed in under 10 minutes, turning the act of installation itself into a performance and a spectacle in its own right.

Coachella / The key aspect was the construction of three custom dollies, each carrying 12 modules. These dollies were engineered to move the three Dragon bodies directly into their final stage positions while also allowing transport in standard trucks, ensuring smooth logistics with no delays or complications. Each set of 12 modules was pre-assembled and fully cabled, so once positioned, the motors and hoists simply lowered the power and signal lines into place. This hardware design enabled an installation that could be deployed in under 15 minutes and transported seamlessly in a touring context, without compromising reliability or efficiency.
Multiple clips were prepared and structured by song as pre-recorded scenes, designed to be triggered live via MIDI controllers. The content was developed primarily using the render engines of Unity and TouchDesigner, while the final playback and execution were handled through Resolume, controlled in real time via MIDI controllers.
The Coachella staging featured a theatrical, scenographic approach, in which the three Dragon bodies moved vertically throughout the performance. Each scene followed a distinct and specific narrative, carefully coordinated and synchronized with the other stage elements, while always responding to the emotional dynamics of the live performance through MIDI controller interaction.
