Lumino curating: Cédric Le Borgne’s Travelers in Montreal
Scenitz is one of the guest curators of the Lumino festival organized by the Quartier des Spectacles Partnership in Montreal. As part of this event, discover the images of Les Voyageurs by French artist Cédric Le Borgne. Elusive explorers who contemplate the city, Les Voyageurs bring a touch of poetry to the urban space.
Emilien Guesnard and Scenitz Productions were in charge of part of the light show in the town of Saint-Genis Laval on December 6, with three custom-made installations.
Les Scintillons (Pia Vidal): for thousands of years, in Saint-Genis-Laval, the Light has been preparing itself. Hidden in the walls, stone, and concrete, it has infused itself into the fabric of the city, waiting for its moment. Today, it awakens to flood the world of humans once again. On the occasion of the Festival of Lights, guided by six Scintillons, it emerges from the shadows to reveal its messages to you.
Psychedelic Light Show (Emilien Guesnard & Cédric Beron): created from Emilien’s personal collection of vintage projectors, the Psychedelic Light Show offers a true alchemy of living light, projecting ever-changing shapes in a seventies atmosphere.
Moving Shadow (Emilien Guesnard): a light, a circular movement: almost nothing. Yet the rotation creates shadows that stretch, slide, and recompose themselves around the viewer. Everyone sees their body become a moving, fragile trace, redrawn with each turn. Moving Shadow offers an experience where light reveals presence as much as it makes it flicker.

Last November, Anastasia Isachsen’s Point of (No) Return was featured at Durham’s must-see Lumière festival. Point of (No) Return is an evocative interactive installation that transforms the audience into co-creators of a visually captivating experience. As viewers step into the spotlight in front of the circular installation, luminous ice melts into flowing water. When they step back, the ice freezes again. This dynamic spectacle raises critical questions about our relationship with the environment: Is it too late to save our world? Are we at a point of no return, or is there still hope?

Nicolas Paolozzi’s web installation was in Zurich from November 19 to December 7, as part of the Zauberpark festival, which offers the public an international music and arts program over several weeks.
Web expands into space as a vast net, suspended above the ground like an otherworldly spider’s creation. Cords stretch from a central spine and anchor to the landscape, forming a fragile yet commanding volume. Laser light fractures into countless luminous points, racing along the threads like signals through an invisible network. Blending minimal materials with large-scale impact, the work transforms simplicity into spectacle. This network that connects us has reshaped our relationship to the world. WEB reveals its ambivalence: captivating yet potentially perilous. Have we woven a web that unites us or one that holds us captive?

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

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
Artistic direction, scenography and staging: Nawelle Aïnèche Video mapping: Pia Vidal Dancers: Clara Grosjean Alice Bessou Musical creation: Yôko Higashi Production: Tanquieta, Les Subs, Lyon Festival of Lights Distribution: Scenitz

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.
