Luminiscence: A Celestial Odyssey in the Basilica of Saint-Remi

Luminiscence is an immersive phenomenon that takes over the interior of the Basilica of Saint-Remi in Reims, one of the most beautiful Romanesque buildings in France, a UNESCO World Heritage site. This new kind of show combines 360-degree video mapping, 3D spatialized music, and live choir to plunge the spectator into a total sensory experience.

The Celestial Odyssey

The current production, titled "The Celestial Odyssey", offers a journey through a thousand years of this sacred monument's history, from the baptism of Clovis to the present day. The show features three-dimensional projections, a live choir (on Fridays and Saturdays), and a giant interactive light installation called the Nimbus, a sphere nearly 3 meters in diameter synchronized with the performances.

A Two-Part Experience

The Luminiscence experience is divided into two parts: an immersive walk through the basilica's spaces, followed by the main show of approximately 45 minutes while seated. The projections literally envelop the spectator, transforming the vaults, columns, and walls of the basilica into a total 360-degree screen.

A Project by LOTCHI

Luminiscence is produced by LOTCHI, under the direction of Romain Sarfati, co-founder and general manager. The show was designed in close collaboration with heritage authorities to offer an experience that respects this historic site while providing spectacular and innovative lighting.

Two Performance Formats

The show is offered in two formats: a version with a live choir on Fridays and Saturdays, and a version with recorded spatialized sound on Wednesdays and Thursdays, offering two complementary experiences at different prices.
