“The intrepid Phileas Fogg with his loyal valet, Passepartout, voyage from Victorian London through the Indian subcontinent, to Asia and across the Pacific to America on a wager that he will return in precisely 80 days. Literally, a theatrical tour-de-force.”
The entire design was based on traditional music, set to capture the energy of a travel adventure, and to signify specific cultural and geographic locations across the world. Sounds combined with music to enhance wheels, wind, and waves – our methods of travel, and to add emotional and locational texture.
