Cyndi Lauper Farewell Tour

Cyndi Lauper’s 2024 farewell tour wasn’t just another concert—it was a journey through her world. We set out to capture her legacy, not just with music but with visuals that told her story.

Twenty screens filled the stage, starting with glitch effects—color bars, test patterns—breaking expectations before revealing iconic moments from her career. The core five screens anchored the story, while the others played with bold overlays to amplify each scene.

For “Shine,” we drew from Sonia Delaunay’s vivid colors and abstract forms, one of Cyndi’s favorite artists. The visuals built to a peak as Cyndi took the stage, perfectly capturing her electric spirit.
