Designed by Irish-American architect James O’Donnell in 1824, the Gothic Revival cathedral is adorned with exquisite gilded detail, soaring lines and rich colors intended to ‘to lift visitors’ hearts and voices into communion with the divine.’
Today, nearly two hundred years later, Moment Factory bring that aspiration to life in their 45-minute immersive light and video projection-mapping experience, Aura, that is accompanied by a stirring orchestral score.

In celebration of Montreal’s 375th anniversary, the all consuming experience takes visitors on an ethereal journey in two acts. Starting with a self-led tour of the Basilica, visitors encounter the cathedral’s artworks in a new light through the enhancement of multimedia installations. Then they are invited to take their seats for the main attraction that unleashes an imaginative tableaux of animated projections.

AURA MAKING OF
New AURA behind-the-scenes short film shows the creative process involved in the Fabrique de la paroisse Notre-Dame de Montréal’s audacious initiative to highlight the beauty and richness of the Notre-Dame Basilica’s breathtaking interior. AURA is a one-of-a-kind multimedia experience that sheds new light on the history and architecture of​ ​Montréal’s Notre-Dame Basilica as well as the works of art found within its walls.
Aura has been two years in the making, with over 100 people working to bring the complex project to life.
All the intricacies of the Basilica’s ornate architecture were captured in a meticulous 3D scan to form a canvas so the projection-mapping’s visual content could be seamlessly integrated with the space. The visual content was produced over four intense months and it took 90 days to install the 21 projectors, 140 lights, four lasers and 20 mirrors.
The musical element took the longest. Composed by Marc Bell and Gabriel Thibaudeau of TroubleMakers, the orchestral composition was performed by 20 chorists, 30 musicians and the Basilica’s resonant organ, taking a year to record.
