American Express

American Express gave Battle Royal Studios creative liberty to create a moving, narrative product experience for a select 200 guests in Buenos Aires. Part show, part installation, ‘Corporate Platinum’ is a geometric multimedia experience with humans at its heart.

A Hybrid Show

Blending expressive physical movement with extraordinary video tracking systems and light play, the performance extends each character’s ability to physically communicate, live on stage.

Light becomes a universal tool which both assists and restricts the characters on stage. A man attempts to run up a vertical wall but is continuously bombarded by passing animated objects.

His struggle is a metaphor for every small business operator trying to grasp a position on the top of the corporate ladder.
