MOONGARDEN
“The power to bring your events to life”.
The little story that became big!
Since its creation in 2012 for the ‘Luminothérapie’ event in Montreal, moonGARDEN has toured the world, from Lyon’s Fête des Lumières to Brussels, Jerusalem, Moscow, Washington, Mexico City, Medellin, Houston and Beijing. Already seen by more than a million people, it is without doubt an invitation to dream.
Its appearance is inspired by set theory, a branch of mathematics that illustrates the notions of sets and belonging. For us, moonGARDEN is the ideal metaphor for a more inclusive world.
The installation consists of self-inflating spheres ranging from 6 to 30 feet in diameter. The spheres are laser-cut according to a predefined storyline, then assembled on turntables.
The sequence, based on a single jet of light, generates a magical animation reminiscent of the lamps that made shadows dance on the walls of our childhood.
The content of the shadow theatre can be customised according to the customer's wishes, based on a chosen theme or to match the history or atmosphere of a town or its inhabitants.
Multiple uses...
These majestic spheres not only host delicate shadow theatres. They also host interactive applications, video and sound content to create an entirely new storytelling experience.
Thanks to these qualities, the spheres have quickly become natural urban screens embodying a narrative play space ready for public participation…

Our moonGARDEN in the world
@ Mont-Tremblant
Commissioned by the Ville de Mont-Tremblant, the exhibition Jardin céleste, a moonGARDEN made up of 5 spheres, has created a wonderful little village in the Espace public de Mont-Tremblant, home to amazing, friendly creatures you never knew existed…
@ Athènes
Lucion’s first installation in Greece, this moonGARDEN was created in collaboration with studio Wireframe.
The spheres were exhibited in Athens for the 2020 festive season. The light installations created a magical, festive atmosphere for the public.
@ Houston
This moonGARDEN sets the scene for the discovery of this narrative journey, both playful and contemplative.
It retraces the great moments of the city of Houston since its creation: the first heart transplant, its favourite music groups, its skyline…
@ Moscou
This light installation with original music was a very special occasion to toast the end of 2015 and welcome the new year.
Its enchanted forest theme, freely inspired by native tales and legends, took shape through shadow theatres.
@ Medellin
This moonGARDEN called ‘Cocoons’ is a light installation with original music, made up of shadow theatres, mobiles and lighting lamps. Its theme highlighted the technological and cultural evolution of Medellín.
@ Jérusalem
This artistic light and sound installation was illustrated by shadow theatres and highlighted the idea of forest spirits. The installation was enhanced by flying light flies designed and installed by partner company Porté par le vent.
@ Mérida
Inside this moonGARDEN, you could find a child flying out of the window using balloons to reach the imaginary world of an enchanted forest where colours and fantastic animals meet.
@ Bruxelles
Commissioned by the famous champagne brand Laurent-Perrier, and complementing the end-of-year illuminations, moonGARDEN is taking on the sweet name of ‘Bül à Bruxelles’ for the occasion.
@ Lyon
In the installation ‘Les Volières’, virtual birds lived inside the spheres. Some were installed on the ground, others perched in trees.
An additional spell is added by a soundtrack made up of music and effects supporting a rich female voice reproducing bird songs and cries.
@ Montréal
Strictly speaking, ‘Polar Spheres’ is not a moonGARDEN. Rather, it’s its ancestor.
3 families of gigantic spheres, 3 different experiences and a common theme: winter.
