This year, the Cathedral’s illuminations are being carried out by the Passe-Muraille agency. Their mapping project translates into five chapters the intersections of the different motifs of nature, the trajectories and paths that nature offers, thus synthesising biology, natural history, mathematics and physics in the service of art.
A new vision of the world in immersion presented on the castle square.
The composition of the soundtrack was entrusted to Ena Eno, member of the AV Extended collective. His contemporary music is influenced by the North American composers Steeve Reich and Philip Glass. He uses both traditional instruments and electronic music. He will work here by mixing the sounds of nature with deeper harmonies and contemplative or more exalted rhythms in order to match the construction of the mappers and make the experience immersive.
This year the mapping experience is enhanced by live performance. Every Friday and Saturday, Les Percussions de Strasbourg are invited to revisit the soundtrack live. Three percussionists will create unusual sounds, and will introduce the general public to exceptional instruments. Each Saturday, a guest will complete the group to create an original format, at the crossroads of their styles.
Guests: Illektré, Ink, Vincent Beer-Demander, GooMar, Aube, Niid, Encore
Every Friday and Saturday, from 8 July to 27 August, at 10.30 pm, 11 pm, 11.30 pm
