This performance was a five minute choreographed piece which stopped audiences in their tracks, a harmonious combination of fire, spectacle, object manipulation, movement and music. These bespoke flaming metronomes are manipulated by two performers and create mesmerizingly smooth arcs of flame across the sky.
Our mission was to create a fire show which would have a similar impact to a fireworks display. A central focal point for the whole festival. So we went big!
