Studio Job realised a stage set design for Mika’s European tour. It features huge fantastical pieces, scenes and references: Olympia & Jaques Brel, historical Paris and its unique architectural landmarks.

The singer and songwriter said: “This project started around my kitchen table a few months ago. Our dream was to build a show that can evolve and grow over time.  Like items from Alexander Calder’s circus, each set piece is meant to be something iconic and that can make you smile. Job has a sense of vision and craft that is inspiring and he does not compromise at all even when considering something that is a stage set. To him a set on stage has to be as beautifully made and as complex as a sculpture in a museum. That sense of detail and the loaded meaning of each piece really communicates, especially on a such a large scale.”

“The mix of light and dark, joy and sadness. Even when it looks like ecstatic fun, the process behind is serious. I think that we compliment each other well and bring out the good and, more importantly, also the bad. These objects carry a lot of emotion for me, and I think for Job also. I see it as a family of objects, one that will continue to grow and evolve, as they already have over the past year.”
