Michael Jackson Foundation statement about his hologram
The first Michael Jackson hologram was shown on stage on the first night of the show “Michael Jackson ONE” in Las Vegas (News). “ONE” is produced jointly by the Michael Jackson Foundation and Cirque du Soleil.
In a statement, the Michael Jackson Foundation said:
“We were thrilled to see so many fans in attendance on the first night of the show. As the show progresses and we approach our opening date, June 29, we are pleased to share with you that the show has been met with tremendous enthusiasm.
“Michael Jackson ONE” is Michael’s greatest tribute from a group that has an immense passion for honoring Michael’s art and the message of love, compassion, and unity—something that shines brighter and more meaningful than ever today.
During this show, extraordinary photos of Michael appear across the stage’s 180-degree monitors, creating many sensitive moments for both the audience and the performers. One of these moments happens when Michael Jackson’s spirit comes to the stage in special effects to perform the song “Man In The Mirror,” joins the audience, and allows them to feel Michael’s energy. This reminds us that Michael is still with us and alive in our hearts.
Michael is extraordinary, and technology can never recreate an artist as remarkable as him. That is why this technique is only about recreating the energy and spirit of this special man on stage. As the name of this show suggests—and as we all know—there is only one “Michael Jackson.”
The show’s ultimate goal is to entertain audiences at a high level and bring new people into the Michael Jackson fan community.
