The Italian Connection

Art meets entertainment. A completely immersive journey allowing viewers to discover the history and the secrets of the Sistine Chapel, a unique live show inspired by Michelangelo's masterpiece and told with a contemporary and entertainment style language. “Giudizio Universale. Michelangelo and the Secrets of the Sistine Chapel” is a new genre of entertainment connecting the fascination and beauty of the finest worldwide artistic icons with the emotional and engaging codes of entertainment: 270° of immersive projections, live performances, theatrical effects, music and technology. Realized with the scientific advice of the Vatican Museums, the show has been created by Marco Balich, Creative Director and Olympic Producer who is referred to as the “designer of emotions”.  After more than 20 Olympic Ceremonies (Rio 2016, Sochi 2014, Torino 2006 and many others), his expertise in producing large-scale events is renowned throughout the world. He was the Artistic Director of the Italian Pavilion in EXPO Milan 2015 and the creator of the iconic Tree of Life. The main theme song of “Giudizio Universale”, composed by Sting, will lead the audience through an emotional and aesthetic experience not to be missed.

The co-director is Lulu Helbek - creative director of important productions for Balich Worldwide Shows. The show which is presented in Italian and in English also counts on the contribution of two acting stars: the voice of Michelangelo, in both versions, is performed by Pierfrancesco Favino, while the voice of the Bible in the English version is performed by Susan Sarandon.
