"At the time, the novel coronavirus was spreading around the world, leading to a series of cancellations and growing sadness and cultural frustration.

Eugenie and Igor, the two protagonists of the piece, were already written, composed and ready to love each other, but were desperately waiting to meet, tragically separated in their story, but also in life, which was taking a tragic turn… It seems their love will conquer all, and tonight, for the first time, they will finally save and love each other onstage, before your very eyes.

After a heart-rending, months-long absence of shows, we now know how essential it is to be moved, to travel, to escape.

More than ever, we need to dream – together."

It was with these words, on the evening of October 21, 2021, that Mélanie launched the one and only performance of this aquatic opera of a new kind.

We worked with Mélanie and her team on the scenography and realization of her creation, devising the most beautiful of settings: a stage made entirely of water and equipped with a pit and special effects, a stage cage offering several projection surfaces, and a high-performance 3D flight system.

To round off our artistic collaboration, we also undertook the design and production of the 3D audio and video-mapping.
