How Do Sparks Transform a Fire Show ?

A fire performance at Lumina festival in Saint Maurice

Lumina Festival, held every year in Saint-Maurice in the Valais region, is a festival dedicated to light and visual artistic creations.
In 2023, Compagnie Paradox performed a fire show over three days, in front of more than 1,500 spectators throughout the festival.
Beyond the flames, the thousands of sparks created by glowing charcoal left a lasting impression on the audience. In the darkness, they form clouds of light and transform every movement.

The sparks are more than just a visual effect. They are an integral part of the performance.
With every rotation, the glowing charcoal draws fleeting shapes through the air. The show constantly evolves, making every moment different.
Combined with the flames, these effects create an atmosphere that is both powerful and poetic.

A FIRE SHOW DESIGNED FOR FESTIVALS

Outdoor festivals provide a particularly striking setting for this type of performance.
As night falls, the contrast between darkness, flames and sparks comes into its own. The show remains visible from a distance and can naturally bring a large audience together.

At Lumina Festival, this staging created several memorable moments throughout the three-day event. Fire, movement and sparks tell their own story, without the need for words.

FIRE AND GLOWING CHARCOAL: TWO COMPLEMENTARY EFFECTS

Fire brings warmth, power and intensity.
Glowing charcoal creates a different, more graphic effect. Thousands of sparks trace luminous paths through the darkness, creating images that stay in the audience’s memory.
By bringing these two elements together, Paradox creates a visual performance particularly suited to festivals, public events and outdoor celebrations.

This approach can also be complemented by our light shows, where LED technology creates a completely different visual world.
