A show where architecture comes alive.
With “And the stone became light”, the Collegiate Church of Huy transforms into a true scenic jewel. The show follows the tradition of heritage operas conceived by Luc Petit, where stone, steeped in history, becomes the starting point for an immersive experience blending light, dance, music, and performance.
In this context, light does not merely illuminate: it reveals. It highlights Gothic lines, redefines volumes, and constantly interacts with the architecture. Each scene enhances the venue, transforming matter into emotion.
Our work on this project was guided by this logic: to design lighting capable of existing on a grand scale while remaining precise, sensitive, and deeply connected to the location. A luminous design conceived to accompany artists, structure spaces, and guide the audience’s gaze to the heart of the show.
Between visual power and narrative finesse, light here becomes a language in its own right — a direct link between stone and life.
A project where heritage and contemporary creation meet to give birth to a timeless experience.
