A breathtaking immersion among iconic masterpieces like the Mona Lisa, The Last Supper, or the Vitruvian Man? You got it! Starting March 13th, the Renaissance takes over l'Atelier des lumières, bringing the legendary works of Raphael, Da Vinci, and Michelangelo to life. This immersive light show, which mobilized over 120 talents, aims to "experience culture differently." Here is a preview.
The Triumvirat of the High Renaissance
How can we renew our perspective on the Italian Renaissance? This is the question posed by Aurélien Bose, President of Culturespaces. The goal here is to live the experience through a truly spectacular staging: chiaroscuro, smoke effects, and lasers—the signature style of l'Atelier des lumières which never ceases to amaze. Visitors can explore the heritage of the great Cinquecento masters in a new light, from Raphael’s Madonnas to Michelangelo’s sculptures and Leonardo’s sketches. As a bonus: the extraordinary narration by Féodor Atkine (the French voice of Jafar in Aladdin) and an original soundscape by studio Troublemakers, blending original compositions with contemporary works.
Guided by the fictional narrative of Giorgio Vasari, the very first art historian, the hall comes alive, plunging us into the heart of Rome and Florence, the birthplaces of the Renaissance. This is where the magic happens: thanks to 360° projections, the smallest details of the world’s most famous artworks become monumental. The effect is stunning: one feels tiny in the face of the artists' genius and their fantastic achievements. We particularly loved the projection of La Festa del Paradiso (The Feast of Paradise), where celestial decors mingle with innovative gears and machinery. It is a show at the crossroads of art, science, and engineering, celebrating an era that continues to fascinate.
