Before your eyes, the stone comes alive, projections dance, and the centuries are reborn.

The Power of a Live Choir

The show’s soundtrack brings together the great masters of classical music: Johann Sebastian Bach, Claude Debussy, Giuseppe Verdi, and Erik Satie.

Performed by the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra, made up of more than 70 musicians and choristers, the music is spatialized through an innovative sound system arranged all around the audience. Combined with the venue’s exceptional acoustics, the sound transforms into texture, movement, and emotion.

The Monument

Basilica of Saint-Remi - Reims

In the heart of the city of Reims, the Basilique Saint-Remi stands as one of the most emblematic monuments of French heritage. Built between the 11th and 13th centuries, it combines the majestic solidity of Romanesque architecture with the luminous verticality of Gothic style, creating a harmonious and imposing silhouette in the Reims landscape.

Over the centuries, Saint-Remi has witnessed many of the great moments of national history. It houses the relics of Bishop Saint Remi, who baptized Clovis at the end of the 5th century— a founding act that made Reims the city of the coronations of the kings of France. The neighboring abbey long served as one of the kingdom’s major spiritual and intellectual centers.

Its vast choir, soaring vaults, and light-filled stained-glass windows give the site an atmosphere that is both solemn and serene. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Basilica of Saint-Remi remains today a remarkable testament to the religious and political history of France.

Organizer's words

"With this second show, LUMINISCENCE continues the same mission that has driven it from the very beginning: to reveal the emotional power of heritage through an artistic, immersive experience that is accessible to everyone. The Celestial Odyssey is part of the same vision: bringing sacred spaces to life by opening them to a new form of storytelling that reaches all generations, all cultures, all sensibilities. We believe that heritage should not only be seen, but felt. Through light, sound, and narration, we hope to offer each person a suspended moment — intimate, universal — a fresh perspective on monuments steeped in history and memory."

Romain Sarfati, Co-founder and General Director of LOTCHI.
