To illustrate a great story, the myth of origins, and understand the ornate cave phenomenon, we have staged twelve installations in the park of Grotte Chauvet 2.
Projections, immersive sound walks, shadow and light effects - this night-time exploration combines a range of skills and technologies to enhance the site and its history, and offer the public a magical experience.

Grotte Chauvet 2 called on our studio to design the entire night walk around a core theme: the myth of origins.
Our approach was twofold: to study the site and its spaces, and to carry out in-depth research into the myth. This approach has enabled us to develop artistic and scenographic concepts that meet three objectives:
- enhance the value of the site and its environment
- tell the story of the myth of origins in an accessible way
- enrich the public experience
Guided by these objectives, we imagined a multi-purpose itinerary, calling on different media, senses and innovations, and brought together a team of designers, scenographers and engineers. Together, we tested and developed all the concepts, carefully working-out every detail.
The result is 12 installations at the crossroads of several artistic disciplines.
