Available acts include fire-eating, breathing, body-burning, poi, staff, double batons, fans, crowns, horns, masks, bowl-balancing, hand torches, fire fingers, sticks, swords, hula-hoops, 10-ft. diameter fire ring, jack-in-the-box, bull whips, flaming sculptors, jump ropes, wings, brassieres, stilt walkers, glow props (for non-fire events), fire puppets, veils, and flags.
The troupe is built upon a foundation of safety – for both the crew as well as the audience. They have held permits and have been supported by their local fire marshal for the last eight years. By fusing primitive and organic aesthetics with modern technology, they captivate the senses and create mysticism while celebrating spirituality and raising awareness.
