Every ARTEVENTIA show is born from an encounter between an idea, a place, a piece of music, technologies and expertise. Once the audience has left, there is still an entire story to tell.
For more than ten years, ARTEVENTIA has been imagining and producing pyrotechnic creations and hybrid shows in France and internationally. Some last only a few minutes, others nearly an hour and a half. They sometimes mobilize dozens of technicians, hundreds of meters of stage space and thousands of synchronized firing cues.
But they all share one distinctive feature: by nature, they are ephemeral.
It is precisely to better preserve, tell and share this story that we have completely redesigned the ARTEVENTIA YouTube channel.
More than a video channel: a record of our creations
Over the years, ARTEVENTIA has accumulated footage from many shows, festivals and events: Annecy, Montreal, Da Nang, Brussels, Marseille, Chambord, Malta, Omagari, and Les Masters de Feu.
Some of these archives were until now scattered or not showcased enough.
The new channel was designed as a true audiovisual library for the ARTEVENTIA company.
Full shows now sit alongside making-of content, international competitions, productions created for major concerts, and behind-the-scenes footage from our creations.
The goal is simple: to enable everyone to discover not only what happens in front of the audience, but also, gradually, what happens behind the show.
Collections to explore the ARTEVENTIA universe
The channel is now organized around several major collections.
SIGNATURE SHOWS brings together some of our most iconic creations in their full version.
INTERNATIONAL takes ARTEVENTIA creations beyond France’s borders, from international festivals to major events in which our teams take part.
COMPETITIONS looks back at the international pyrotechnic contests that have marked our history and shaped part of our creative language.
LIVE CONCERTS highlights creations designed around artists’ performances and major music events.
BEHIND THE SCENES opens the doors to our setups and lets you discover some of the work that comes before the few minutes of show visible to the audience.
Show the performance. And also tell the story of its creation.
This evolution of our channel reflects a deeper evolution within ARTEVENTIA.
Pyrotechnics remain at the heart of our expertise, but our creations now bring together many disciplines: drones, lighting, laser, special effects, water, scenography, stage machinery, and musical creation.
Behind these technologies lies, above all, the same ambition: to build a story and stage an emotion.
This is the dimension we now want to share more.
Why choose one piece of music over another? How do you imagine a show spanning several hundred meters of façade? How do you coordinate thousands of firing cues with light, water or drones? How does an idea become a show?
So many questions that our upcoming content will gradually help answer.
New archives published regularly
The channel’s transformation is only just beginning.
Many shows from our archives will be gradually published or brought back into the spotlight, alongside new ARTEVENTIA creations.
Each video thus becomes an additional piece of a story that began in 2013 and continues to be written, show after show.
From Montreal to Annecy, from Brussels to Japan, from major music stages to international competitions, we want to make this channel a place where you can see, see again, and also understand the shows we imagine.
And soon, we will go even further behind the scenes of creation with new formats designed especially for YouTube.
What comes next can be watched on the ARTEVENTIA YouTube channel.
