DEADFELLAZ LIVE

STAGE & SPACE
2022

Scope: Creative Direction, Show Direction

For NFT.NYC, we brought Deadfellaz's Deadzone to life as a post-apocalyptic nightclub — translating the NFT collection's lore into a physical world guests could inhabit for a night.

Zone 13 was designed from the ground up: custom neon signs, graffiti-covered fences, metal walls, concrete ledges, and a dance floor that felt underground through metal grates, dramatic lighting, and fog.

I directed the stage visuals for performances by Princess Nokia, LATASHÁ, Domino, and Ed Balloon, with holograms of Deadfellaz characters Betty and Psych appearing between sets in a Zone 13 rooftop scene. Flying Deadfrenz bats in augmented reality extended the 3D world into the audience itself.
