For the Paralympics Moritz executed Sixteen banners, lit with LED lights. Each banner transformed into a mobile display that became an integral part of the choreography.

The graphic innovation was rendered by the LEDs arranged on the banners, which reproduced a new and unique design – the ‘scale’ lines – recreating appealing animations and lights moving simultaneously with the music.
