Banijay Benelux announces TwentyTwo Productions is entering the live entertainment space through a new collaboration with French immersive producer Lotchi, a Banijay Live company, to bring "Luminiscence" to the Netherlands for the first time. Becoming the fourth country to host the production, the Dutch edition will premiere on 7th November at Delft’s iconic heritage site, Oude Kerk, and will run for a limited two-month season.
"Luminiscence" is a breathtaking 360° multi-media experience, fusing cutting-edge technology, live music and immersive storytelling. The show has already enchanted almost one million visitors across Europe’s most beautiful cathedrals and churches, from France, Spain, and Germany, which launched just last week. The show is currently being globalised by Banijay Live’s Lotchi and a number of Banijay Entertainment’s production labels.
Paul van der Maesen, Producer at TwentyTwo Productions, said: “When I first experienced 'Luminiscence' in France, I was absolutely blown away. What a spectacle. The combination of an unparalleled light show with beautiful music in such a special location is simply breathtaking. Expanding into live events is both complementary, and an exciting new chapter for TwentyTwo, and our initiative to launch the experience at Delft’s Oude Kerk showcases the creative potential of this production.”
Audiences in the Netherlands will be immersed in stunning 3D light projections, live choral music, and a powerful voiceover by Dutch actor Daan Schuurmans, bringing to life a thousand years of Dutch history, from the legacy of William of Orange, and the artistry of Johannes Vermeer, to remarkable moments of resilience and freedom.
Romain Sarfati, Founder of Lotchi says: “Bringing 'Luminiscence' to the Netherlands, and to such an iconic landmark as Delft’s Oude Kerk, is a true milestone in our international journey. This collaboration with TwentyTwo Productions not only breathes new life into a place rich with history and artistry, it also demonstrates how Luminiscence can transcend borders, transforming heritage sites into living stages of wonder. Together, we are setting a new benchmark for immersive cultural experiences in Europe.”
