Cymopolée

An animated tornado that undulates under the stars

Both a work of art and a show, Cymopolée is a veritable tornado of light and sound. It illustrates a weather phenomenon that is usually seen far from our latitudes, but that may soon occur more frequently and intensely right here. In addition to its immersive and naturalistic evocation of the passage of a tornado through the city, Cymopolée captures the emotions surrounding the impacts of climate change and our collective responsibilities. As night falls, its metal structure begins to move, lighting up and appearing to undulate in the wind. Keep your eyes peeled! The work comes to life for two shows every hour.
