Laser-Light Show Expands Storytelling
Memorial Day Weekend thru Native American Day
"Legends in Light" the Crazy Horse Memorial multimedia laser-light show is presented nightly, at dark, Memorial Day weekend through Native American Day in October. The laser-light show effectively turns the mountainside into a giant 500-foot "screen" for the spectacular event.
"This is laser-light storytelling to illuminate our cultural diversity, celebrate our similarities and encourage better understanding and harmony among races and nations," said Ruth Ziolkowski, wife of late sculptor Korczak Ziolkowski, and president and CEO of the non-profit Crazy Horse Memorial Foundation.
The Memorial honors the Native American, and "Legends in Light" dramatizes the story of the rich heritage, living culture and contributions by Native Americans to our society. The show features colorful animations, sound effects and laser beams choreographed to music.
The show is produced with cutting-edge technology, including:
15-watt lasers that are the biggest used in the laser-show industry
8,800 watts of stereo sound that will encompass the complex
25 2000-watt fixtures to light up the mountain
Three of the world's largest slide projectors.
The three PANI projectors create panoramic images as wide as the mountain carving. A closed-loop ice-making system is used to cool the lasers, without using water resources.
This dynamic method of storytelling provides a unique experience for our guests to enjoy.
