They revived The Tree of Light
The Tree of Light
blow on the embers of a thousand-year-old tree and regenerate yourself
In time immemorial, a sun spirit placed his heart in a tree. The darkness of the world disappeared. Life shone forth. But the energy of the Tree of Light is not eternal. Every hundred years, the living, animals, plants, humans, gather to give it back its flame. And this moment has arrived...
Regenerate a thousand-year-old tree with the rhythm of your breath
The Tree of Light is an original fiction which plunges you into the heart of an enchanted forest to experience a unique moment of regeneration of a tree. Participants discover a new ritual to experience a new relationship with the living beings that inhabit our world. Animals and plants have a voice, speak to us, and invite us to become one with a tree whose energy is weakening.
It is by breathing and listening that you will manage to rekindle the flames of the tree. The work participates in the fall of stress as could a walk in the forest, thanks to an exercise of breath put at the service of the narration. And who knows, maybe you'll meet this spirit of the sun that makes fiery hearts sprout everywhere...
The Tree of Light is a call to regenerate the ecosystems of life and an invitation to take a step aside and explore other imaginaries of nature.
An Immersive experience to reconnect with the forest
Sitting in a circle, eyes closed, with headphones on, the experience is a journey of sensory wonder through a unique spatialized sound, an interactive light sculpture made by a craftsman, and an immersive writing that puts you at the heart of the story.
The experience, very immersive, is however based on a "low-tech" installation that strives to limit its footprint, without any screens, with light and sound as the only guide to free your imagination.

and they share their reviews
The Tree of Light is an experience that cannot be recounted, it must be lived fully to be understood. At the same time disconcerting, and phonetically hypnotising, the technique used does not leave anyone indifferent, and allows one to immerse oneself entirely in a pretty poetic parenthesis with an enchanting story.
Caroline de ChantéracManager of La Fabrique des Récits 
The objective was to offer a break, a breath of fresh air, a moment out of time to our employees. 15 minutes are enough to calm the mind during a working day.
Natacha GrzeskowiakCommunication and innovation project manager - EDF 
The Tree of Light is a poetic tale which, thanks to the binaural sound technology, will be able to put the immersion within the reach of all and to make live, to feel with each spectator new emotions and feelings.
Michael SwierczynskiNewImages Festival Director 
The Onyo project is totally in tune with the times. Creating capsules of disconnection, without screen, in a poetic universe : it makes total sense in our current world.
Mathilde RenaultInnovation Project Manager - MAIF 
After a conceptual and illustrated presentation of immersion techniques and devices, the students lived an incredible immersive experience designed and developed by Onyo : the Tree of Light. Bluffing of emotional realism ...
They are now in a creativity workshop to imagine new immersive concepts.
A wonderful learning moment roundly orchestrated by Charlotte-Amélie and Yann.

Who is the target audience ?
All our works contain universal messages, and are made to be accessible to all types of audiences: children, families, young adults and seniors, employees. Everyone can have a different reading. But everyone comes out of it amazed and appeased!
is this a new mediation device ?
The Tree of Light is an artistic creation.
The experience has been designed to be easily integrated into tours and events.
It allows, by the emotion and the fiction, to create frameworks of calmed exchanges within collective, to approach serenely questions associated with the living with various public including (and especially) of the people not sensitized with these questions.
It combines perfectly with artistic workshops, scientific mediation, talking circles, etc.
We are listening to you to imagine new formats !

Discover another creation
The Guardians of the Mountain
In The Guardians of The Mountain, listeners discover an original, emancipating initiatory tale, experienced as a rite of passage, whose ordeals shake up the codes and imaginations of the mountain. Patience, power and symbiosis take on their full meaning: we are surprised to play with the elements not to dominate nature, or for ourselves, but out of empathy, for others.
