Moments earlier than the present begins, a fastidiously orchestrated play of lights unveils a charming spectacle of shadows and silhouettes, exposing the dynamic flurry of exercise and meticulous preparations unfolding behind the scenes. This suave presentation grants the viewers a glimpse into the enigmatic realm on the opposite aspect. The translucent wall, composed of modular polycarbonate panels spanning over 80 metres, features each as a filter, concealing the invisible mechanics behind the scenes, and as a canvas, showcasing the collections of the scholars.
