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.

]]> The Journey of the Magi (tour) – Belgium https://www.openwhite.eu/en/the-journey-of-the-magi-tour-belgium/ Thu, 03 Jan 2019 12:23:27 +0000 https://www.openwhite.eu/index.php/2019/01/03/the-journey-of-the-magi-tour-belgium/ 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.
