The content of each project page
Each project page gives the same three elements, so that you can compare a reference with your project.
Background and the brief
Who is organising it, for what occasion, for how many people and in what setting. This first line lets you compare the project with your own situation, from a neighbourhood opening to a national holiday.
Site constraints
Safety distances, listed buildings, proximity to the public, airspace, vehicle access, and the time slot set by the season. We base the choice of languages on these constraints, before the artistic writing.
The approach adopted
The languages used, how they are combined and the reasons for their selection, followed by the sequence of events and the duration. In several of these productions, two languages interact within the same show.
Explore through expertise
Each discipline has its own page: what it enables, what it requires of the site, and the situations in which it is essential.
Pyrotechnic show
Fire-writing, synchronised with a soundtrack. The most common form of expression in our projects, with a prefectural file to prepare well in advance.
Discover our expertise
Drone show
A swarm that traces patterns in the sky, without any explosions or fallout. We offer it for sensitive sites, during drought orders and when the audience is very close.
Discover our expertise
Video mapping
We write the story on the monument itself, and replay the show over several evenings without starting from scratch.
Discover our expertise
Large fireworks displays
Large-scale displays, set against a backdrop of water, a park or a city skyline, for events that bring an entire urban area together.
Discover our expertise
Sound and Light Show
Lighting, sound and set design all serve the narrative, when the message matters just as much as the effect and the evening needs to hold the audience’s attention throughout.
Discover our expertise
Shows featuring performers
Artists involved in the production: flyboarding, mechanical effects, fire manipulation.
