LES LUMINESSENCES D'AVIGNON A voice rings out in the Palais des Papes. It asks: Who are you? Yes you, great stone vessel, who are you? Answer me. An abiding witness throughout time, like a giant mineral, you still stand strong in unerring silence. But what surprising tales do you secretly house? What stories do you shelter within your walls and under your vaults? What secrets do you hide within your seemingly enchanted sleep?
Anyone who thinks they know this place should think again. The Palace’s halls and mazes don’t give everything away, not even to the regular visitors. Behind its architecture and stone walls, a secular memory is concealed. Before revealing its secrets, it beckons everyone to come along one evening, as the darkness swallows up the earth and starlight shines down from the sky. Only then is it time to raise our heads and feel how small we are. And then, the moment comes when, in the depth of the night, the Palais des Papes finally responds: “Here I am. And here’s my story… ».

CO-FOUNDER OF AMACLIO, SCREEN WRITER, STAGE DIRECTOR, and ARTISTIC DIRECTOR OF AMACLIO
Right from the start, in April 2012, Bruno SEILLIER artistically directed three shows; the first two, La Nuit aux Invalides and les Luminessences d’Avignon, are monumental video-projection shows, and the third, les Ecuyers du temps, a combined live and equestrian performance (including 150 actors), and monumental video-projection, staged in Saumur.
Prior to this, he created impressive monumental shows including 200 years of glory at the Château de Versailles, a monumental light-show at Notre-Dame-de-Paris (for the Parvis des Gentils event), Medina al-Zahra in Tunisia, the multi-technology show at the Millau viaduct… not forgetting the animation at the Vendée globe launch in Sables-d’Olonne.
Bruno Seillier has a particular way of creating shows to enhance a site, exalting it while maintaining its true essence through a balance between technology, history and stone.
His creations, La Nuit aux Invalides, Les Luminessences d’Avignon and Les Ecuyers du Temps all meet these challenges and serve the buildings’ beauty without erasing their soul. His creation style is dynamic and rich in sensations, remaining respectful of characteristic elements: “I don’t seek to crush the monument under artificial fleeting virtualisation. On the contrary, I want to use the power of technology to bring the monument alive, to change its garment and establish a dialogue with it.”
