Art Deco Proscenium Arch at a Dutch Concert Venue

16 April 2023 · Amsterdam

The proscenium arch dominates the room before the show begins — bold black-and-white geometric banding stacked in concentric frames around a stage still being set. Teal stage lights push through deep red curtains while the audience settles in below. The Art Deco detailing does the work the performance hasn't started yet: it sets the scale, draws the eye forward, and makes the wait part of the event.
