From September 12 to 14, 2025, the village of Borgo was transformed into an open stage where the dialogue between works of art and heritage offered a new reading of the latter.
The works Asklipion and Octo by artist Emilien Guesnard joined the program of eight light, sound and visual installations that punctuated an astonishing nocturnal stroll through sacred, hidden and natural places.
Production management for Eté Marseillais Festival
In association with the Marseilles-based Folks team, Scenitz is in charge of production management for the Été Marseillais festival organized by the city of Marseilles, with artistic direction provided by the B-PM and Maison Gutenberg agencies. Nocturnes in museums, concerts on a floating stage on the Old Port, parties in museums, parks & gardens, projections under the stars: summer in Marseille takes on the air of an intergenerational, accessible and popular festival. A festival faithful to the values of inclusion and sharing, making culture a common good and a driving force for social cohesion at the heart of a sunny, generous city.
We are delighted to announce that Scenitz is one of the guest curators for the next edition of Lumino festival, one of the main light & digital art festival in Canada, produced by Quartier des Spectacles Partnership
Join us in Montreal from November 2025 to March 2026 to discover the program

For thousands of years, in Mantes-la-Jolie, the Light has been preparing. It has been hiding in the bricks and blocks that form the walls of your flats, houses, car parks and shopping centres. It has infused itself, condensed in matter, soaking it with its flow as sweet as honey. The Light has waited, day after day, year after year, until one day it will burst forth and flood the human world once again. To do this, it is accompanied by a timeless people: the Scintillons. Their bodies are made of vibrations and dust of pure light. Each Scintillon is unique and embodies a note carrying a message for Humanity. For the Lueurs de Mantes festival, the Light has decided to come out of hiding. With the help of a dozen volunteer Scintillons, the public discovered the messages they had to convey.

We’re delighted to announce our new collaboration with visual artist Nawelle Aïnèche and her powerful Outside project, which joins the works we’ve been distributing.
Outside is a monumental installation woven from video cassette tapes, like a cumulus cloud whose destination is unknown. On this shimmering installation, artist Pia Vidal projects a metaphorical and poetic mapping of the reminiscence of memories. The reflective work questions the power of the dark, hidden memories, and consequently, the light that generates them.
➤ December 5 to 8, 7pm – 11pm + concert evenings throughout December ➤ Lyon Auditorium
Outside is also a dance performance, featuring two woven sculptures inspired by moires, ancient divinities that can foretell the future. The dance movements are paradoxical, constrained by the material and the sculptural costume. How can we find a space of freedom despite the physical and psychic constraints?
To be premiered at SUBS in Lyon on the weekend of May 2 – 3 – 4, 2025

The Festival of Lights is approaching in Lyon. Discover the creation of The Lightning Hope, a group of artists brought together by Emilien Guesnard.
Follow the astonishing main character of the story: a filament lamp that glows eternally in a hangar. It vibrates and crosses time and borders. In this film, projected onto the magnificent façades of the quayside, L’enfant lumière conveys his emotions. The intensity of black and white carries us along, an air of blues floating in the air, vast landscapes playing with our imagination.
