ABOUT US
“Coming together is a start, staying together is progress, working together is success”.
Henry Ford
Our story
Founded in 2000 by Bernard Duguay, Lucion is an experience creation firm serving the entertainment, cultural and public sectors. Its creative team includes visual artists, set designers, musicians, video artists, scriptwriters and interactive media specialists.
Over the past 20 years, Lucion has distinguished itself by producing digital content with high artistic value. More than 400 productions have been completed in Canada and abroad, including lighting installations, architectural projections, mobile applications, stage productions, immersive environments for museums, and visual packaging for television.
Since 2011 and the deployment of "Sphères Polaires" in Montreal's Quartier des Spectacles, Lucion has gone international. The spheres housing the shadow theaters that have become "moonGARDEN" have since traveled around the world to light festivals and private sites.
This presence has opened the way to new fields of expertise in logistics, coordination of large teams from several countries, artist management...
Lucion has also performed brilliantly twice at Lyon's Fête des Lumières, most recently with "Quantum" in 2018, winner of a Numix award.
Most recently, Lucion signed the permanent show "An Eye on the Future" for the Chinese firm Yong & Li. The installation included a 10-metre-high 360 video sphere on an island in the city of Gu'an, near Beijing. The giant sphere was accompanied by 400 smaller luminous spheres, whose programming gave the park the air of an enchanted garden.
Our philosophy
We aim to offer a new perspective on the world. Not just to provide ephemeral happiness through a dose of digital magic, but rather to foster a more global understanding. It’s where the complex connections with our world become visible. Where the inherent forces between our molecules, our thoughts and our neighbors become evident.
We are a collective of communicators seeking to inject content into the vast contemporary media ecosystem. Through our initiatives, we seek to spark more enriching discussions about the way we live, while helping to shape a more sustainable, interconnected and radiant world.
We are constantly on the lookout for writers, artists, craftspeople, musicians and environmental designers to create new forms of storytelling and sharing, whether in natural or urban settings.
What we do
Our aim is to reach as wide an audience as possible, which is why we work in a wide variety of fields.
In our portfolio, you’ll find the following categories…
In nature
We work in green or snow-covered areas, amid lakes, parks and forests…
All that in music
We attach great importance to the music and soundtrack of each of our installations.
"They don't know that it was impossible, so they do it"
Mark Twain
What sets up apart
Our aim is always to go beyond what the customer imagines. Our approach is therefore based first and foremost on listening carefully to our customers’ needs and dreams.
Our projects are always a delicious blend of the arts. Theater, cinema, multimedia, music, circus… nothing is too much! We love the collaboration of minds and skills that allows us to create original installations and shows that touch the hearts of audiences.
There’s no stopping us! Our extensive experience, built on years of collaboration and production with international teams with different ways of working, has given us an uncommon ability to adapt.
Our team may seem small, but it’s not. We have developed strong links with 2D and 3D artists, set designers, composers, actors… enabling us to build up a team capable of lifting mountains and working in harmony by drawing on the qualities and skills of each individual.
