Based on the legend of Pope Cornély in Rome (Kor-neli, Corneille, Cornelius...) this story is an excuse to (re)visit Carnac and to sublimate the architecture of the church of St Cornely. A large-scale show based on image and sound projections will revive the joyous Carnac tradition of telling the famous legend of St Cornély, who in his time turned the horde of soldiers after him into stone, and that's how the famous Carnac alignments came to be! Thanks to an imaginary theatre set up on the sides of the church, the show will take us on a journey in the footsteps of the good Pope Cornély, from Rome to Carnac. As with all good legends, there are bound to be a few surprises and absurdities directly linked to the imagination of the author, a certain Fred Renno, Chief Image Lighter and smiling pen of many great epics to be enjoyed in great company.
