The Great Bell no longer rings.
What a tragedy for the Bell Ringer, whose mission is to announce the arrival of Christmas. He must absolutely find a solution as quickly as possible to save Christmas.
The adventure takes you, alongside the Bell Ringer, to meet unusual and mysterious characters who draw you into a wild journey in search of the sound of the Christmas Bell.
Between music boxes, automatons, and chimes, Luc PETIT and Michel TEHEUX take audiences into a magical audiovisual spiral full of poetry.
Magic, illusions, humour, and dance—everything is staged brilliantly to delight the eyes and ears. An odyssey filled with hope that immerses the audience in the innocence of childhood, guided by the graceful clatter of Christmas’s celestial percussion.
First collaboration for creation and lighting programming
For this first creative adventure alongside Luc Petit, I had the opportunity to shape the luminous world that accompanies The Christmas Bell Ringers. From the very first discussions, the aim was to find the right emotion—the colour that tells a story, the sparkle that highlights a gesture, or the shadow that leaves room for mystery.
My work took shape as an exploration: how can light resonate with the rhythm of the music? How can the artists be wrapped in a warm, festive, or magical aura depending on the scenes? Each moment was conceived as a small story in itself, a fragment of magic to be revealed with delicacy.
The lighting programming was carried out in the same spirit of sensitivity and precision. Cue after cue, I sought to create a visual breathing space—transitions that go unnoticed yet are felt, and lighting accents that support emotions without ever imposing them.
Working with the artistic and technical teams made it possible to weave a true dialogue between the director’s intentions, the performers’ energy, and the poetry that light can offer. This collaboration gave me a space where creativity could be fully expressed, in the service of the sense of wonder that is so characteristic of Luc Petit’s worlds.
For me, this first shared experience marks the beginning of a joint artistic journey, fuelled by inspiration, attentive listening, and a shared desire: to bring magic to life.
