Silent House is a global award-winning design & production agency. In 2020 Silent house organized Katy Perry’s performances at the iconic Women’s T20 World Cup Cricket Match at the MCG Stadium in Melbourne.
In early 2020 Silent House approached Giant Inflatables to help create a rapidly deployable set that would make the backdrop for Katy Perry’s feature performance at the Women’s T20 World Cup in Melbourne.
The brief was to create three giant inflatable symbols for love, equals, and peace, that could be inflated and brought onto the field for Katy Perry’s show.
The enormous inflatables used a mix of inflation technologies and materials. The “love” and “peace” symbols were inflated using constant air blowers, while the “equals” symbols were free floating and inflated with helium.
The inflatables, standing 10m high, formed a clear message in the backdrop of the performance and were seen from every corner of the MCG, the largest stadium in Australia, packing almost 100,000 people into the space. The Inflatables team created the love symbol with a matte polyester material selected for its light-absorbing properties and ability to stretch without creases.
The equals symbol, being filled with helium, was created with a highly lightweight PVC material to allow the buoyancy of the helium to lift it into the air.
Finally, We created the peace symbol with a heavier-duty PVC material in highly vibrant pink. We chose this material to work in the tight radiuses curves of the construction.
The show went smoothly without technical issues and received exceptionally positive feedback from attendees and the media.
Silent house praised giant inflatables for professionalism and attention to detail in bringing their vision to reality.
A flawless execution that left everyone speechless. From the audience to the media, the feedback was overwhelmingly positive. This innovative collaboration proves the power of inflatables to elevate live events to new heights.
Giant Inflatables has been producing inflatable brand activation products, sports inflatables and jumping castles since 1997.
