SILA SVETA

Rave Rebels stage concept

Once again we took part in the largest indoor-rave in Belgium — Rave Rebels. This time we have transformed the 6300 м² ING Arena into a spaceship. We decided to create a large, symmetrical structure that could fill the entire space and interact more deeply with the venue’s architecture.

The setup idea came from the venue itself — the pipes and metal structures under the ceiling reminded us of a scene from a sci-fi movie. We drew inspiration from the shape of spaceships in culture and cinema — from retro-futurism to contemporary films. That’s how a large geometric structure integrated into the arena’s architecture appeared on stage.

The ship was made up of 21 sections — 20 outer segments and one central block. 12 kinetic panels moved using a system of winches.

Four smoke machines were installed inside the ship, filling the volume with haze so that light could shine through the gaps. In total, about 600 lighting fixtures were used. Inside, there was a multi-level structure of trusses and rigging, with numerous suspensions and chains.

SILA SVETA and Pitch Bureau joined forces to contribute to one of the most significant cultural projects in Central Asia — the Center for Islamic Civilization (CIC). Together we are responsible for developing an innovative exhibition space and the largest mapping show in the region.

Inside — a spacious 1,400 m² exhibition hall “New Uzbekistan – the Foundation of a New Renaissance”, where we are creating an innovative exhibition dedicated to the country’s modern history and future transformations. Our partners are the German company BeWunder, renowned for their legendary pavilions at World Expo.

The Queen has arrived

On September 12, we unveil the new content that SILA SVETA created for MAD Madrid Artes Digitales latest exhibition CLEOPATRA. This time, we return to Ancient Egypt with a different story — about the last queen of Egypt, a woman who defied Rome and became a symbol of power, intellect, and charisma.

Cleopatra’s Egypt is an immersive journey through the key moments of her life and reign. Special attention is given to her image: this is not simply a tale of beauty, but a portrait of a wise and influential leader, skilled in defending her power and forging strategic alliances.

In the 360-degree projection hall, visitors will see the story unfold from Cleopatra’s coronation to her dramatic end. The main show will be enhanced by a hologram that guides guests through events from the founding of Alexandria by Alexander the Great to the queen’s childhood and the final days of her reign.

This is our fourth immersive exhibition in collaboration with MAD. We have been working on this project since December 2024, striving once again to surprise visitors with a seamless blend of historical narrative and cutting-edge technology. We are excited for the premiere and invite you to visit the exhibition in Madrid.
