THE ANNOUNCEMENT

Back in November 2015, 45 DEGREES and the Futuroscope were proud to announce a joint project to create a new evening show entitled ‘La Forge aux étoiles’, an aquatic fairy-tale from the creators of Cirque du Soleil. The show would be performed on a 7,000 square-meter outdoor stage “through a system of laser projections, water fountains, fireworks, and fire.”

“This collaboration will allow us to pool and share the creative spirit that drives us in creating extraordinary visual experiences, issues of marriage between technology and art,” said Dominique Hummel, CEO of Futuroscope “Approaching our 30th anniversary, this new creation is intended as a gift to our visitors inviting them in a magical universe and unrivaled and unique dream world,” he added.

It’s now ready to open!

THE AUTHORS
Cirque du Soleil – a leading global name in artistic performance.

Cirque du Soleil has created a tailor-made show inspired by the original style of Futuroscope’s architecture and theatres that reach for the stars. It added its creative flair to Futuroscope’s technological expertise to explore a new form of expression: a show in which the actors are represented and perform through the magic of images and special effects.

THE TECHNOLOGY
A visual feast!

The impressive array of technical gadgetry that brings the brand new set design to life across the 75,000 ft² water stage features new pyrotechnics and aquatic effects, lightshows on water screens, and innovative and dazzling choreography between lights and lasers. The unique, 115-ft-high structure complete with screen and wall of water are the canvas for a fairytale show beyond your wildest dreams.
