AURA

AURA is a multimedia show featuring digital projections, lighting and music presented at Montreal’s Notre-Dame Basilica and carried out by Moment Factory. The AURA experience also invite you to explore the Basilica and discover a series of illuminated stations that highlight its architectural details and artworks.

Troublemakers had the mandates of musical composition, orchestral recording, sound design and on-site integration of audio content.

This is a flagship project for Troublemakers, as it involved a unique and close collaboration with the Moment Factory creative team. It was one of the rare times where the music had to be entirely composed before animating and projecting images on the walls of the Basilica. It is also a very large-scale local project requiring an orchestra of 35 musicians, a choir of 20 singers, and the recording and real-time programming of the Basilica’s great Casavant organ.

The result of this collaboration is an immersive experience charged with emotion that showcases the Basilica’s singular architecture and regularly appears on the list of attractions to see in Montreal.
