Qing Show – Luc Petit (Qingdao, China)

François — Sun, 19 May 2019 11:41:42 +0000

We participated in the lighting design and operation for Qing Show, a permanent, international-scale immersive show designed for a 360° theater featuring an aquatic stage, special effects, and advanced media systems.
We developed a lighting narrative that serves the storytelling, with particular attention to spatial perception, contrast dynamics, and the integration of volumes within a complex and evolving stage environment.
Our involvement was part of a multi-department technical ecosystem (video, automation, laser, FX), requiring precise synchronization and a deep understanding of the interactions between light, materials (water, smoke, laser, reflective surfaces), and media.
We also managed the operation of a large-scale lighting system in the context of a permanent show, with high demands for reliability, precision, and reproducibility.

The Journey of the Magi (tour) – Belgium

François — Thu, 03 Jan 2019 12:23:27 +0000

As part of this immersive creation directed by Luc Petit, we participated in the lighting design and operation for the show Les Rois Mages, presented within the cathedrals of Brussels and Tournai.
Conceived as a visual and narrative journey, the show relies on a powerful spatial arrangement, where the lighting accompanies the story and guides the audience’s gaze through the various sequences.
We developed a lighting style centered on creating atmospheres, managing contrasts, and highlighting architectural volumes, in constant dialogue with the specific characteristics of these heritage sites.
Our intervention required precise adaptation to each location, taking into account technical constraints, monumental scales, and diverse viewpoints, while ensuring the coherence and clarity of the performance.
We managed the lighting operations in a demanding context, with particular attention paid to precision, the fluidity of transitions, and the quality of execution within sensitive environments.

The Christmas Watchmaker – Belgium (Tour)

François — Sun, 03 Jan 2016 12:03:33 +0000

As part of the Christmas of Cathedrals tour, we participated in the lighting design and operation of this creation, directed by Luc Petit and based on an original text by Michel Teheux.
Deployed within exceptional heritage sites, the show adopts an immersive approach where light interacts with the architecture, revealing the volumes, materials, and unique perspectives of each cathedral.
We developed a lighting concept focused on creating atmospheres, highlighting the built environment, and sensitively accompanying the narrative, striking a balance between sobriety, precision, and visual impact.
Our involvement required precise adaptation to each location, taking into account technical constraints, monumental scales, and specific architectural features, while ensuring consistency and clarity from one site to another.
We managed the lighting operation throughout the entire tour, maintaining a high level of precision, reproducibility, and respect for the environments.
