    A team of talent

    Jean-Baptiste Hardoin, creative director specializing in immersive experiences, has created a bold staging with the Cutback studio. Thomas Dechandon, lighting designer for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games ceremonies, orchestrates a ballet of lights. Florian Métral, a researcher specializing in the Renaissance, ensures scientific and historical accuracy. Féodor Atkine, the iconic voice of French dubbing, lends his precision to the narrative. Troublemakers composes a soundtrack that reinvents audio narration and puts sound at the center of the experience.
