Vendimia 2015 was a large-scale scenographic and audiovisual production for Mendoza's National Grape Harvest Festival, combining live performance, projected imagery, LED structures and orchestral theatre in a spectacle staged with around one thousand performers.

The 2015 edition was developed from the proposal Oasis que Late, directed by Marcelo Adrian Rosas, with Sonia Ester Sejanovich as assistant and eventual director, and Alejandro Rodriguez / Dogrush in charge of the visual and technological scenographic setting. The work brought together scenic design, technical coordination, floor and screen mapping, and a broader network of programmers, animators and suppliers.

Beyond the scale of the event itself, the project required a long production cycle: about ten months from the initial concept to the final performances. The resulting show ran for roughly seventy minutes and was repeated over four nights, with live national broadcasts across Argentina and additional repeats on Mendoza's provincial television network.
