What We Did

Cre8mania’s artists were trusted by iArt creative director Lucio Tambuzzo to produce a one of a kind show focusing on the idea of the sky as an intangible cultural space of Mediterranean people. Following an extensive research revolving around the show’s artistic concept and its relation to Byblos, the team conceptualized a full show comprising 3 main ideas: Byblos sky’s deities, Rituals & celebrations as well as Astrology & astronomy. Presenting mesmerizing 3D animations, captivating visual illusions and impressive sound effects, the show aimed at highlighting Byblos cultural heritage and presenting it on an iconic monument.
