A concept that’s already a cult favorite is finally coming to Brussels
Following stops in London, Bern, Düsseldorf, Amsterdam, Barcelona, and Boston, Eonarium Studio is bringing its video projectors to Brussels with “Genesis,” an immersive light show set in a magnificent historic building in the city center. From the very first seconds, the audience is enveloped by soothing music and enchanting animations, before being swept away on a musical and visual journey that retraces, in about thirty minutes, the story of Creation.
The concept? A custom video mapping display, calibrated down to the millimeter to the venue’s architecture, creating an experience where absolutely every nook and cranny of the building becomes a projection surface. The entire show takes place indoors, sheltered from the vagaries of Brussels’ weather.
The Church of Notre-Dame des Victoires in Sablon, a Gothic gem in Brussels
For this Belgian stop, Eonarium has set its sights onthe Church of Notre-Dame des Victoires in the Sablon district, on Rue des Sablons—one of the capital’s most understated architectural gems. This choice is by no means a coincidence: the building, whose construction began in the early 15th century, is considered one of the finest examples of late Gothic architecture in Belgium.
It’s impossible to miss the dizzying scale: the church’s central nave is bathed in natural light thanks to 11 stained-glass windows soaring 15 meters high, while the entire building features a protruding transept and five naves. All these spectacular vertical surfaces are tailor-made to host an ambitious video mapping project, transforming the vaults and stained-glass windows into a truly life-size giant screen.
Located on Place du Grand Sablon, just a stone’s throw from the Royal Museums of Fine Arts and the Magritte Museum, the church is a place well worth a visit even under normal circumstances. With Genesis, it’s set to become—for the duration of this experience—one of the capital’s most unique spots.
