Art & Craft
Since physical combat is central to the experience, immersion was a key focus of our design. The team hand-crafted distinctive cardboard armor and helmets, supported by safety helmets and protective vests worn underneath. Environmental decorations were also created to transform the final playing area at the ETC Festival into an immersive performance space.
