ESCH 2022 - REMIX OPENING

STAGE & THEATRICAL DIRECTION

Battle Royal & Les Enfants Terribles

The Esch2022 REMIX Opening was a one-of-a-kind participatory event. Taking place across multiple sites around the centres of Esch and Belval, it was one of the largest immersive experiences Europe has ever attempted, having counted 18.000 on-site visitors and another 14.000 watched the livestream from home.

The REMIX Opening’s ambition was to create participatory journeys which invite locals and visitors to discover the creative energy and beauty of Luxembourg’s former cradle of wealth. Young and old were invited to be part of a music festival, a scavenger hunt, and an immersive digital and analogue experience.

While the immersive event took over the former steel mill area in Esch-Belval, the night’s framework plot was put onto two major stages 5km apart from one another with actors, puppeteers, and dancers.
