Every summer for the past 10 years, the Notre-Dame de Rouen Cathedral has been dressed in light for a few weeks and, for the first time in 2022, this not-to-be-missed event in the capital of Normandy will be interactive: from June 3 to September 17, visitors will be able to - in addition to taking in the view - interact directly with the show!
Joan of Arc, William the Conqueror, the Vikings... for the past 10 years, the highest cathedral in France has been revisiting its history through a sound and light show that will appeal to both children and adults. The historical monument which inspired many paintings to Claude Monet also pays tribute to the master of the impressionist movement by using its facade as a gigantic canvas playing, like him, on light and colors and it is very likely that this pioneer of the arts would have appreciated the new show planned this year.
For the first time, the inhabitants of Rouan and visitors will be able to participate in the projection by "placing" a virtual candle on the cathedral or, after having been scanned, their avatar. Like so many small impressionist touches, the actions of the public will form a beautiful human and collective work as was, centuries ago, the construction of these majestic religious buildings.
17 projectors instead of 10, optimized visual quality, innovation: to not miss anything of the 2022 edition of this sound and light show lasting 50 minutes (a first loop presenting the animation on the Vickings), rendez-vous from June 3 to September 17 in Rouen :
