Sofia Recchi (interview): “The goal of this experience is really to allow people to take kind of a spiritual journey. So it’s really the objective is to freeze time and make them forget about it and have this spiritual awakening. So, we really want to give people the freedom of deciding how to interpret this experience.”

Lieve de Brauw (interview): “Genesis, the story in itself, we’ve done before. We’ve done in different cities before. However, what makes it special is, as I said before, the architecture of this church. So, the story is the same, however it’s been completely catered to this building. And that’s why also the church itself plays a part of the story.”

Sofia Recchi (interview): “We have noticed that people are always looking for a new way to experience art. So this an innovative way to do that because it’s really a marriage between art and technology.”
