Following multiple acts throughout the 20-minute performance, Symphony of the Green Island, is a Guinness world-record breaking show that brings to life island mythology, told through movement and colour, on a live canvas.
Highlights within this visually stunning environment include:
The visual language of the show feels mythical and elemental – timeless, yet grounded in the raw, sacred textures of Cát Bà.
With Sun Group Entertainment’s guidance, the production was in layered chapters: the fairies’ descent, then ‘Wood’, ‘Fire’, ‘Metal’, ‘Water’ and ‘Earth’ – each with its own emotional and symbolic identity.
Jet skis became moving symbols – trees, waves, flowers. While lighting shaped the natural and lasers brought the mystical. Every visual choice was rooted in transcendence, transformation and the idea of nature in dialogue with the divine. A myth, told through movement, on a living canvas.
The island’s duality – solid yet fluid, dense yet delicate – provided the inspiration to work with contrasting color pairs like green/magenta, red/cyan, and yellow/violet. These combinations didn’t just look beautiful — they reflected the elemental oppositions in the story. For example, chaos (fire) contrasted by control (metal), and movement (waves) contrasted by stillness (trees).
What really sets the visual design apart is the 50,000 square metre aquatic theatre and consequent vastness of the space. As the lighting and laser effects are not constrained by physical walls, there is the ability to extend them into the sky hundreds of metres, expanding the visual display beyond the envelope being worked in.
Combine this with the huge pyrotechnics display and over 40 elite water sports athletes operating high-speed watercraft, it creates a truly unique and thrilling show.
The space has been brought to life with hundreds of moving head, intelligent lighting fixtures and lasers, along with a sound system that provides perfect sound across the 400-metre beach stretch. Kilometers of fibre have been run, providing the networking backbone for the system – the site is truly huge with the key feature being the 50,000 square metre aquatic stage.
The beach area has the capacity to accommodate over 10,000 people, and we’ve designed the show in a way that ensures every attendee walks away with a memorable and positive experience.
This is the largest aquatic stage Laservision has created, and it was only made possible through the close collaboration of all parties involved—including the talented teams at Sun Group Entertainment and H2O Events.
From a technical standpoint, installating and operating sensitive cutting-edge equipment in a marine environment poses its own challenges with high humidity, temperatures, huge tidal variances and salt water all working against you. Laservision’s design team dedicated countless hours to developing a robust engineering solution capable of withstanding these conditions.
The result is a resilient, purpose-built solution that delivers a world-class visual experience.
The key to designing and delivering a synchronised show across multiple mediums, is in its planning and off-site pre-programming phase. The Laservison team worked closely with the Sun Group executives, the musical composer Nhat, H2O and the pyrotechnics team to create a cue-by-cue simulation of the spectacular. This allowed the teams to visualise exactly how the performance would come together, prior to, stepping foot on the stage.
Once the teams arrived on-site, the pre-programmed show was implemented on the system integrating the live cast. Orchestrating a performance on the water with over 40 live cast operating high-speed jet ski’s, flyboards and jet surfs is quite challenging from a lighting and laser perspective since pinpoint accuracy is required. However, after many nights of rehearsals, the talented H2O team was able to hit the mark on every cue, resulting in a highly synchronised spectacular.
