This latest award crowns French company ECA2 and Dentsu's collaboration with the world's leading car maker Toyota, for which Yves Pépin and his team had previously produced the Toyota Pavilion at the 2005 Aichi World Expo - an achievement that received the Best Live Event accolade at the 2007 THEA Awards, the most prestigious honours in the global experience industry.
In addition, the Songs of the Sea show in Singapore was in January named Best Tourist Attraction in Southeast Asia by the ASEAN Tourism Forum. This large-scale fantasy spectacular, devised and produced by ECA2 under Yves Pépin's direction, has already drawn more than one million paying spectators since opening in March 2007.
The huge success of the Singapore show has also earned ECA2 a further THEA Award. This international distinction, one of the most important in the Entertainment Business will be presented jointly to Mr Ko Eng Wee of SDC (Sentosa Development Corporation) owner of the show and Yves Pépin, ECA2, creative director and executive producer, on 8 March during the Gala Dinner of the THEA Awards 2008, in Los Angeles.
