The Celestins theatre - Lyon Festival of Lights 2017

Patrice Warrener is one of the artists who gave his letters of nobility to the Festival of Lights.

He invented the “chromolite” technique, which makes it possible to highlight the architectural details of a building.

The artist had illuminated the facade of the Célestins theatre in 1997.

Twenty years later, the organizers of the Festival again requested him with the colouring of the theatre.
