After reaching over 400,000 spectators at several of France’s most emblematic monuments, the immersive LUMINISCENCE show is now coming to Reims. This unique show combines 360-degree digital projections, history, live music and 3D spatialized sound. Visitors to the Basilique Saint-Remi will be amazed by the show from the end of April. Missed the show in Paris? Now’s your chance to make up for it. Tickets are now available.
Luminiscence in Reims
LUMINISCENCE‘s brilliant concept is to highlight the richness of France’s architectural heritage through immersive experiences. These sound and light shows are the fruit of unique technological know-how, combining 3D modeling, video projection and spatialized sound to reveal the secrets of these historic monuments with a touch of magic.
France’s most beautiful sacred monuments become the stage for a monumental immersive show. Now it’s the turn of the Basilique Saint-Remi in Reims, one of France’s greatest Romanesque edifices, destroyed during the First World War, restored and listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and home to the relics of Saint-Remi, to be bathed in LUMINISCENCE light.
Art and technology in the service of heritage
Thanks to 3D modeling of the building, every architectural detail is captured, from the elegant curves of the nave to the vaults and the intricate patterns of the stained glass windows. Using state-of-the-art projectors, this precision creates a video-mapping that follows the architectural structure of the monument down to the last centimeter.
In a harmonious sensory ballet, a 3D spatialized sound system plays in synchronization with the powerful voices of the choristers, traveling through the nave to the rhythm of the visual projections and narration. The site is sublimated, offering visitors a unique multi-sensory experience.
Captivating storytelling
But LUMINISCENCE is also (and above all) a way of telling a story, and not just any story: the story of the centuries since its construction. Through a breathtaking visual and musical spectacle, the secrets of the most beautiful religious monuments are revealed, from the architectural prowess of their builders to the spellbinding light effects of their stained-glass windows and extraordinary acoustics.
