Lady Gaga’s set is a boxed perspective designed 由 Es Devlin and built 由 Tait Towers
Lady Gaga played her last of four New York shows Sunday night at Radio City 音乐 Hall, with just one 更多 日期 tonight on this leg of her Monster Ball tour before she “throws away this stage and gets a new one,” for her upcoming arena tour, as the artist announced from her 钢琴 bench. The boxed perspective set, lined with tapering walls of Nocturne V-Lite LED video screens, was designed 由 Es Devlin and built 由 Tait Towers, complete with lots of moving parts.
Forcing the perspective further is a sloped floor, while cross-stage travellators expand the horizontal dimension. A self-propelled set truck moves various objects from the back to the forestage, usually including the artist herself, not least of which is a huge gyroscope. “We had to approach this from two new angles,” says James “Winky” Fairorth, president of Tait Towers. “The 陀螺仪 was a completely new moving object to conjure with; 你 don’t want to underestimate the forces at work when that thing is spinning.”
Devlin’s 设计 was strongly influenced 由 Lady Gaga and her team. “She has an amazing team around her,” says Devlin. “Willow Peron, her creative director, had a very clear vision of what was wanted, and later Lori Anne Gibson, her choreographer, also influenced design, so in that respect, the set 设计 evolution always had strong currents running through it, as well as her own ideas. Watch her videos, and 你 soon recognize powerful contrasts; that schizophrenic nature inhabits the set. It’s halfway between chaos and that purity.”
Devlin also calls Tait, “an amazing company—a complete Rolls Royce experience. Not only do they accommodate, they suggest…They will come up with much 更多 about realizing your show. Winky thinks about every aspect, costume, dancers, video; he’s really enthusiastic about it all.”
There are potent forces at work here; the Monster Ball is a tour not to be missed. As Devlin concluded, “What I’m trying to do is bring to 熊 what I do in the opera for this world of concerts. I print out the lyrics and work from what is a collage of songs and ask the question, how can I find a through- line with this? The aim is to make the 图片 connect; to get away from ‘this is the 粉, 粉色 song’; ‘this is the song with balloons’. To give a 显示 a beginning, middle and end. With every 显示 I try to turn it into an opera, each time I fail of course, but each time I’m failing better.”
Word is that Roy Bennett is working on the new 设计 for the changeover to the arena leg and that Tait Towers is already involved in that build as well. Stay tuned for 更多 on this tour when it continues 下一个 month.

Lady Gaga is the a fascinating woman. From her sing and dancing to her costumes at the vma's it doesn't get better. Gaga is a great singer and her songs are great. They are different from other songs because she puts her own flavor to it. When she dances it is also crazy. From wearing a dress to a 衬衫 and then basically nothing is really crazy. Her costumes and her dress wear is also a part of her. She even has her own room in the buildings when she is invited to the Vma's I didn't know that but i found out. She changes her out fit after she gets a award and the wardrobe gets even better.
