CERCLE LAUNCHES ‘CERCLE ODYSSEY’ - A LARGE SCALE 360° IMMERSIVE CONCERT INSTALLATION
Cercle Odyssey is the world’s first nomadic concert structure, marking a new chapter in live touring entertainment. Officially launched on April 23rd in Mexico City, followed by a show in Los Angeles, the tour will conclude in Paris from May 28th to June 1st. This groundbreaking concept combines music, technology, and immersive storytelling in a 360° projection environment, reimagining what a concert can be. Inspired by the myth of Ulysses, each show becomes a personal and emotional journey, evoking the feeling of returning home after a long voyage.
Founder and Creative Director Derek Barbolla shares, “My obsession is to create the shortest connection between the music, the video narrative, and the audience’s emotions. If people are moved to tears on the dance floor, then I’ve succeeded.” The visual narrative, led by acclaimed director Neels Castillon (Ridley Scott Creative Group, Motion Palace), will focus on real, human, and natural imagery, steering away from the artificial aesthetics often seen in electronic music.
Cercle Odyssey’s unique scenography, designed by RAINBOW studio (Victor Perrin & Samuel Chatain), mixes imagination with engineering. The structure features 2,300 m² of massive projection screens, up to 12 meters high and 55 meters long, displaying synchronised 8K visuals using 29 locally rented projectors. This approach reduces transport emissions and energy use, offering a more sustainable alternative to traditional LED walls.
Musical programming will feature a diverse lineup of artists whose work bridges audio and visual storytelling. While the artists remain under wraps for now, each performance will be a singular, completely unique, emotionally rich, and deeply immersive.
As part of the Odyssey project, Cercle Records emerges as the sonic memory of the experiences lived in Mexico City, Los Angeles, and Paris. Each release is the result of a close artistic collaboration with the performers invited to Odyssey. They don’t just take the stage — they create, in resonance with the location, the audience, and the moment. True to its values of being Epic & Timeless, Cercle Records crafts a musical identity that captures the emotional intensity of the Cercle experience.
"Cercle Records embodies the sonic memory of Odyssey. Each release is a fragment of the journey." - Clémence Maillard (Label Manager)
