By following the journey of iconic characters and with the participation of over 120 extras, the 30,000 spectators present during the evening were able to immerse themselves in the Battle of the Ardennes, from the hellish winter of 44-45 to the Cold War and the fall of the Berlin Wall.
Fire and light tableaux set the Mardasson ablaze while snow swirled above the audience. Before them played the intertwined stories of two soldiers, one American and one German, of a nurse and a little girl, offering a human perspective on this cruel battle.
This show, titled Les Routes de Liberté, then gave way to hope with poetic scenes combining dance and aerial ballets, before delivering a grand finale that brought together all the clans, symbolizing the unity of peoples and that of Europe.
Images to remember.
Words to understand.
A living and monumental fresco to never forget.
