LUMINISCENCE whispers the secrets of the Cathedral
The LUMINISCENCE show breathes new life into the nave of this 13th-century heritage jewel and witness to history.

Under the vaulted ceiling, the magic happens.

A 360° video-mapping that transforms the cathedral into a gigantic tableau vivant. The walls come to life to reveal architectural secrets and key moments in the cathedral’s history. The soundtrack completes the visual spectacle, creating an ever more enveloping atmosphere, a veritable symphony of music and architecture.
Why shouldn’t you miss out on LUMINISCENCE? Because LUMINISCENCE succeeds in this crazy challenge: to make heritage vibrate. The show doesn’t just illuminate the cathedral: it brings it to life.
