Y-40 The Deep Joy / Citizen, The Depth of Time | The Show

To mark Aqualand's 40th anniversary, the director of Citizen Italia, Marcello Borsetti, commissioned Y-40 Studios to design and create a unique event that would celebrate the history and spirit of the iconic diving watch.

The goal: to take guests on a symbolic and sensory dive into the world of Aqualand. Inside a 400 m² stage set, an underwater show was staged to amaze and engage, where lights, sounds and movement brought to life an exciting story between water and time.

The 5-minute underwater show, visible from the panoramic tunnel of the swimming pool, featured 12 performers, supported by 12 safety divers, engaged in a synchronised choreography designed to symbolically represent the discovery of depth by time. Conceived as the centrepiece of the event, the performance combined movement, light and sound in an immersive narrative, highlighting the link between Citizen Aqualand and the underwater world, which has always been its distinctive feature.
