The Tree of Light

blow on the embers of a thousand-year-old tree and regenerate yourself

A new myth

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...

An original immersive experience

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.

Sitting in a circle, eyes closed, with headphones on, the experience is like a journey of sensory wonder thanks to a unique spatialized sound, an interactive light sculpture made by a craftsman, and an immersive writing that places you at the heart of the story.

They revived The Tree of Light

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 !
