Région des Lumières Festival 2025

In Montluçon, the Région des Lumières Festival illuminates the façade of the MuPop, the vibrant heart of Montluçon, and the rear of Notre-Dame Church; this resolutely modern spectacle transforms the façades into an extraordinary visual and auditory spectacle.

In a dynamic and immersive sequence, the images trace the evolution of popular music, from Bourbonnais folklore to electro sounds, via rock and French chanson. The building’s walls become living instruments, reacting to the pulsations of the soundtrack. The city, its industrial past, its creative youth, and its urban and natural landscapes intertwine in a futuristic and festive spectacle.

This show, at the crossroads of digital technology and popular culture, offers a bold reinterpretation of the city of Montluçon, both rooted in its heritage and looking towards the future.

Practical information
The projections will take place on the façades of the MUPOP and Notre-Dame Church, on the MUPOP esplanade side, every evening from 30 August to 21 September 2025, from dusk until 11.30 pm.
