I have come up with this idea for a set with both front projection on shapes and people, and rear projection on a screen behind the set:
The white shapes can be mapped with the front projector using MadMapper, and different images and videos projected onto them. The white cylinders are the size of a 55 gl drums, 5 gl buckets, and 1 gl cans. The pan flute shape is a set of PVC pipes played with the hands or paddles like those used by Blue Man and others, but with straight pipes instead of using elbows to lower it:

Ideally, I would like the platforms at different levels to be suspended on cables as a unit, but that is obviously an Adam thing, as Jessica would say:
People could either be lighted with the front projector, or with black light, or wear EL Wire outfits.
And third, I thought of a "Fire" look. The drums become antique fire buckets. and people could be set on fire with the projector if they wear white loose overalls:
Please guys, give me some feedback. Jessica, what do you think? Adam, can we build such a set? Vera, do you have ideas for the costumes, which of course should incorporate lights? John, how do you feel about it? Real drums could be inside the white cardboard shaped. Or you could play 55gl drums and Jamaican Steeel Drums... Mary, how do you feel about dancing around the set with EL wire on, or projected on?

I came up for the moment with three different looks that could be projected on this set. Just keep in mind these are very rough ideas, and the figures would be dressed accordingly (Vera's job). The guy on the top level playing "PVC organ" and a huge drum would be John Scalici (are you still up to it?). Randy is going to have to figure out the "Long Strings Harp" stretched in a vertical plane from floor to rafters, it's strings doubled with EL Wire...
First, sort of a Steampunk rust, brass gear and weathered look:
I could see Steampunk inspired costumes with that:
Then there is sort of a "Blue Moon" look:
