L’Arbre de Lumière
After the success of L’Apprenti Sorcier, Beatrice Berrut and Stéphane Lambiel continue their collaboration with a new original creation combining music and figure skating. L’Arbre de Lumière is an immersive show in which live music dialogues with movement on ice, transforming the ice rink into a vast poetic space.
Conceived as a symbolic narrative, the show traverses the history of mankind in reverse: from a scene of war and desolation, it gradually moves towards peace, love and light. Beatrice Berrut’s original music accompanies and inspires Stéphane Lambiel’s choreography and the ice presence of exceptional skaters, in a constant dialogue between sound and movement.
At the crossroads of art and sport, L’Arbre de Lumière celebrates resilience and hope, and offers a powerful, unifying experience, accessible to all, with a universal message.

Her performances with renowned orchestras, including the English Chamber Orchestra, and her masterful transcriptions of Mahler’s symphonies, bear witness to her virtuosity. In her music, she explores European spiritual and mystical heritages, while embracing the vast musical landscape of composers such as Bach and Liszt. Her award-winning discography reinforces her reputation. Beatrice Berrut is a singular and influential figure, pushing the boundaries and democratizing classical music through interdisciplinary collaborations such as figure skating and contemporary dance.
