The Hong\u202fKong Coliseum turned into a kinetic storytelling arena on September\u202f10,\u202f2025 when Ruby\u202fLaw, founder of RULA Design Studio, unveiled a seven\u2011meter white cube that folds, glows and morphs throughout Terence\u202fLam\u2019s \u201cWhite Summer\u201d concert.\u202fThe sculptural centerpiece sits beneath two circular LED screens, creating a striking contrast between the rigid square and the surrounding round light panels\u2014a visual metaphor for the show\u2019s theme of duality, where light and shadow, joy and melancholy intertwine .<\/p>\n

From the opening act, the cube dominates the stage as a static, pristine block. Its stark white surface reflects the blinding summer sun projected from the overhead screens, casting deep shadows that echo the concert\u2019s exploration of contrast. As the performance progresses, the cube begins to unfold, its panels swinging outward to reveal a glowing \u201c+\u201d symbol on the floor. This simple cross becomes a sign of unison, a visual cue that disparate elements are converging into a single narrative thread .<\/p>\n

The circular LED screens above the stage act like abstract glasses, framing fragments of a love story that unfold in projected memories. Audiences watch tender moments turn bittersweet as Terence Lam, positioned outside the cube, observes past relationship scenes playing within the transparent interior. A backward\u2011running clock punctuates the segment, reminding viewers of the impossibility of reversing time with a loved one.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Colour gradually seeps into the scene, breaking the initial black\u2011and\u2011white palette. This shift mirrors the transition from memory to present emotion, while the audience\u2019s light sticks synchronize with a smaller, 360\u2011degree flying prop\u2014a miniature replica of the main cube\u2014that changes hue in real time. The shared illumination blurs the line between performer and spectator, forging a moment of collective unity.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Aerial choreography defines the concert\u2019s second half. Terence Lam lies on a bed as his \u201csoul\u201d lifts away, rising into a suspended space where his shadow drifts above him. The floating fragments of memory, rendered as weightless shapes, interact with the audience\u2019s light, creating a sensation of gravity\u2011free movement. The design draws on Daoist ideas of transcendence, suggesting that letting go of past attachments can lead to a higher state of being .<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Behind the spectacle, a dedicated engineering and construction crew rebuilt the flying mechanisms after a three\u2011year venue restriction. Their effort made possible the seamless transitions, rapid unfolding of the massive cube, and precise aerial lifts that kept the performance fluid and safe . The visual language of \u201cWhite Summer\u201d hinges on the interplay of geometric forms\u2014square versus circle, static versus kinetic\u2014and the emotional journey from recollection to renewal. Ruby\u202fLaw\u2019s modular cube not only serves as a stage prop but also as a narrative device, framing the concert\u2019s story of love, loss and the hope of moving forward. The unfolding cube stands as a testament to innovative stage design, proving that a simple geometric shape, when engineered with imagination, can become a powerful conduit for storytelling.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
