Amsterdam, September 2025: Banijay Benelux announces TwentyTwo Productions is entering the live entertainment space through a new collaboration with French immersive producer Lotchi, a Banijay Live company, to bring Luminiscence to the Netherlands for the first time. Becoming the fourth country to host the production, the Dutch edition will premiere on 7th November at Delft's iconic heritage site, Oude Kerk, and will run for a limited two-month season.
Luminiscence is a breathtaking 360° multi-media experience, fusing cutting-edge technology, live music and immersive storytelling. The show has already enchanted almost one million visitors across Europe's most beautiful cathedrals and churches, from France, Spain, and Germany, which launched just last week. The show is currently being globalised by Banijay Live's Lotchi and a number of Banijay Entertainment's production labels.
Audiences in the Netherlands will be immersed in stunning 3D light projections, live choral music, and a powerful voiceover by Dutch actor Daan Schuurmans, bringing to life a thousand years of Dutch history, from the legacy of William of Orange, and the artistry of Johannes Vermeer, to remarkable moments of resilience and freedom.
Paul van der Maesen, Producer at TwentyTwo Productions, said: "When I first experienced Luminiscence in France, I was absolutely blown away. What a spectacle. The combination of an unparalleled light show with beautiful music in such a special location is simply breathtaking. Expanding into live events is both complementary, and an exciting new chapter for TwentyTwo, and our initiative to launch the experience at Delft's Oude Kerk showcases the creative potential of this production."
Romain Sarfati, Founder of Lotchi says: "Bringing Luminiscence to the Netherlands, and to such an iconic landmark as Delft's Oude Kerk, is a true milestone in our international journey. This collaboration with TwentyTwo Productions not only breathes new life into a place rich with history and artistry, it also demonstrates how Luminiscence can transcend borders, transforming heritage sites into living stages of wonder. Together, we are setting a new benchmark for immersive cultural experiences in Europe."
Amsterdam-based TwentyTwo Productions is known for innovative television formats like Date on Stage, The Block and Renovation of the Century. With the production of the live show LUMINISCENCE, Twentytwo Producties is taking its first steps towards expanding its portfolio with more live events, in line with Banijay Benelux's ambition to become the media house of the future.
Luminiscence will take place Wednesday to Saturday from 7 November for a limited two-month run. Advance ticket sales will open soon, and visitors can join the waiting list now at www.luminiscence.com/delft.
