CELESTE STRASBOURG

CELESTE – THE INVISIBLE WORLDS (Original Creation)
IMMERSIVE AND HISTORIC SHOW!

CÉLESTE is an immersive video mapping show that pushes the boundaries of architecture and light to offer a poetic and metaphysical experience.

This project unfolds within the Temple Neuf in Strasbourg, exploring the relationship between matter and the invisible, history and the timeless. Light becomes a vehicle for emotion and reflection, guiding the audience through a transformation of space and perception.

Under the artistic direction of Jérémie Bellot, CÉLESTE transforms Strasbourg’s Temple Neuf into a place of luminous and poetic expression. The subtle interplay of light, lasers and architecture explores universal themes such as memory, spiritual elevation and the communion between humanity and the universe.

The show creates a dialogue between past and present, the material and the spiritual, turning the architecture of the Temple into a living canvas. Each beam of light sculpts the space and transforms the monument, immersing the audience in a 360° sensory and introspective experience that prompts profound questions about time, memory and the invisible.

⚠ TRAFFIC & PARKING INFORMATION – CHRISTMAS MARKET PERIOD (CAPITAL OF CHRISTMAS)

During the winter season, and particularly during the Strasbourg Christmas Market ("Strasbourg, Capital of Christmas", from late November to late December), the city centre (Grande-Île) is subject to enhanced security measures and is closed to motor vehicle traffic.

City-centre car parks become very difficult to access or reach capacity from early in the day.

Our recommendations:

1.    Strongly consider using the Park & Ride (P+R) facilities located on the outskirts of Strasbourg and travel by tram.
2.   If you are driving into the city centre, plan your arrival in advance and allow at least 15 to 30 minutes before the start of your session to pass through pedestrian security checks and reach the Temple Neuf.
