From Legend to Living Experience
Between 2017 and 2019, The Conquest of Istanbul rose again, this time upon the sea. What began as a land performance in 2016 transformed into an epic aquatic trilogy, merging large-scale engineering with the language of motion, light, and sound.
A monumental floating stage stretched across the Bosphorus, where history was retold through cinematic projection, live choreography, and synchronized pyrotechnics. Expanded in every sense, from narrative depth to technical complexity. The show turned centuries of legend into a living, breathing spectacle of modern storytelling.

Backstage
The 2017–2019 productions pushed the boundaries of both art and physics. Beneath the waves, hundreds of tons of modular platforms were anchored and stabilized. Above, projection mapping and pyrotechnic systems interacted across water, light, and air.
With every year, the show expanded its technical infrastructure and creative reach — refining choreography, scaling visuals, and deepening immersion. Behind the spectacle lay a complex ecosystem of precision, risk, and imagination — the unseen conquest beneath the surface.
