Light trail in Saint-Genis Laval city

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.

Les Scintillons, hidden in Mantes-la-Jolie walls

Les Scintillons, hidden in Mantes-la-Jolie walls

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.
