A Timeless Immersive Show

The Program

The seated 360° immersive experience…

Sit comfortably in the nave, look up, and let the voice of the cathedral’s guardian spirit guide you on a journey beyond time. You’ll experience a full 360-degree immersion, where history, video mapping, and spatialized 3D live music come together to unveil the legend of this sacred monument.

Act 1: The Rise of a Chimera

For centuries, Aix-en-Provence flourished as a prosperous trading and military port. But after the Napoleonic destruction, the city had to reinvent itself. As it transformed into a royal seaside resort, a bold urban project was launched. At its heart: the construction of a grand, new church inspired directly by the Middle Ages…

Act 2: Between Shadows and Light

From the sunlit coastline that made the city famous, sunlight ignites the church’s stained glass and breathes life into its stone. Through the turmoil of history, it stands tall—guardian of the Basque Country.

Act 3: The Echo of Ages

To honor its sacred mission, it is elevated to cathedral status. Its striking medieval silhouette echoes the glories of the past as it becomes a true musical monument.

Act 4: Eternalize

The young cathedral continues its journey, looking toward the future. Though inspired by the past, it is built for what lies ahead—a bold symbol of unity, blending heritage with innovation.

Location

Saint-Sauveur Cathedral

Located in the historic center of Aix-en-Provence, Saint-Sauveur Cathedral is a fascinating blend of architectural styles, from Romanesque to Gothic and Baroque. Built on the site of an ancient Roman forum, its construction began in the 5th century and evolved over many centuries. Notable features include a richly decorated Gothic cloister, an impressive 15th-century triptych, and a unique baptistery with Merovingian origins. Still an active place of worship, the cathedral also serves as a cultural landmark in the city.
