Luc Petit and Michel Teheux recount the Nativity like no-one before.

A trampoline in the choir, a tightrope-walker who crosses the nave, a giant screen for projections, actors in costumes created by the designer Kaat Tilley, dancers including one imprisoned in a large transparent ball, such are the elements of this imposing show presented in the Cathedral of Liege.

For the finale, snow fell even in the spacious Gothic nave.
