Trou de Gloire is a fame simulator. It gives the visitor the impression of being a celebrity on the red carpet of a movie premiere. 8 meters of genuine used red carpet from the Cannes Film Festival lead into a claustrophobic dark cell, where the visitor experiences for 60 seconds a crescendo of flashing lights and sound recordings of screaming fans and parazzi.
