Incandescences combines fire and the visual arts to transform urban space into captivating tableaux, inviting the public to rediscover the city. The show goes beyond pyrotechnics: it encourages exchanges between La Machine’s pyrotechnicians and local residents. For 3 evenings, lanterns, torches and mobile braziers were distributed to the public, who were able to wander around the castle illuminated by flames and pyrotechnic sparks!
For the inauguration of the Caen Millennium on 20, 21 and 22 March 2025, more than 100,000 people from Caen rediscovered their renovated castle, lit up by a thousand fires. In the glow of the flames, the people of Caen let themselves go for a night stroll and celebrated. A magnificent poetic and popular moment.
