Enjoy the Magic Again!
Did this megaproduction take your breath away the first time you saw it? Will this be your first? The 2012 edition has just as much Ohs and Ahs in store than ever! During 50 minutes, let the emotion overwhelm you!
The World’s Largest Projection Screen
The Bunge grain silo “projection screen” is over 600 meters wide and 30 meters tall—the equivalent of 25 IMAX screens! The architectural projection produced and performed, in Quebec City, by Robert Lepage and Ex Machina represents the largest projection ever done. It requires the use of fine technology to project a huge quantity of images and films on the grain silos of the Quebec Harbour. The screen can even be seen from Lévis, on the south shore of the St. Lawrence!
Québec City History, an Extraordinary Retrospective
The Image Mill™ transports us through four centuries of Québec City history in four movements: waterways (recounting the days of Québec’s discovery and exploration), roadbuilding (the period in which the land was cleared, then developed), rail expansion (the years of industrialization and railway construction), and air travel (the era of balloons, airplanes, and communications). Leaving the usual clichés behind, we discover the fascinating history of Quebec City with its upheavals, its controversies, and its great political and popular moments. The silos are transformed—as if by magic—as one image after another appears!
