June 20 will be the first opportunity to participate in this unique event, a megaprojection realized by Robert Lepage, a renowned international author and director. As part of the festivities surrounding Québec City's 400th anniversary, the Image Mill, a visual and audio work of art, will be projected on the grain elevators in the Port of Québec, to become the largest site of giant projections ever shown. From the age of exploration to the clearing of the lands and the industrial expansion to the development of communications, this grand work of art reveals an impressive portrait of the city over the years. The event will be held at Espace 400e until August 24.
Witness first hand the 400 years of Québec City's history!
