The Corporate Headquarters

The Corporate Headquarters marks the largest and most successful installation Dedo Vabo has built to date, receiving accolades in both Rolling Stone Magazine, Variety, and the Los Angeles Times .

Rising over 3 1/2 stories, the structure was a realistic, mock office building with 3 functioning floors and a full-size Jet Ranger helicopter on the roof. Inside the structure was a rotating cast of 75 performers that dressed in hippopotamus costumes and performed nonstop for 12 hours a day. Mechanical gags and special FX were scattered throughout the interior and exterior of the structure, along with various multimedia elements and an interactive telephone system.
