Live Vignette Performances | Design Pavilion by Lexus

A series of living vignettes brings each Lexus vehicle to life through human mannequin performances inspired by distinct personas. Across three acts—The Urban Expressionist, The Bold Maximalist, and The Enduring Modernist—performers embody the lifestyle and design philosophy behind each vehicle.

Positioned alongside the Lexus hero vehicles, the performers create carefully choreographed tableaux that evolve over the course of a 15-minute performance. Each act unfolds through three scenes—beginning, middle, and end—using movement, stillness, and sculptural poses to reflect the character of the vehicle it represents.

To enhance each moment, performers will wear curated fashion from AS by DF, selected to align with the personality of each act while capturing the bold, creative spirit of New York City.
