Aichi Japan Expo | Toyota Group Pavilion
GLOU'S ROLE: Technical & Production Manager
3.000 shows performed for 2M viewers, 2007 THEA Award for Outstanding Achievement: Live Event
The Pavilion is built and operated as a "Natural-Cycle Earth Pavilion" which is structured after the earth's own mechanisms of regeneration. The building is made with a steel frame that can be disassembled and reused, and the walls are made with renewable materials: recycled paper in the exterior walls and kenaf in part of the interior walls. In addition, energy to run the Pavilion will be provided by wind power. The amount of energy used by the Pavilion during the EXPO will be provided by a wind power generator constructed outside EXPO grounds in order to reduce CO2 emissions to zero.
A Welcome Show and a Main Show will be staged in the Main Theater of the Pavilion in a lively, approximately 30 minute performance. In the Welcome Show, a band called "CONCERO*2," made up of Toyota Partner Robots, will open the show, followed by a rap performance by the DJ robot. In the Main Show, the single passenger "i-unit" concept vehicles and the mountable, walking robot "i-foot", together with dancers and other performers, put on a mobility performance show in the midst of a 360 degree large screen which surrounds the audience.
