Tribal and magical - this ritual is performed against the pulsing rhythms of drums by a Polynesian artist who weaves his baton-like fire knives around his entire body, from his feet to his palms to his mouth in a style that is seductively dangerous.

Fire is an esential part in any society. Here, Cirque uses fire to show turmoil and upheval in the world. Performed by a wonderful artist from the Pacific Islands, the entire stage bathes in the glow of his flame. He takes the firesticks from the gold and silver dressed Fast Track artists and lights it with his hands. With a Polynesian flair, the fire blurs in rings of light stopping only long enough for him to wash the fire over his skin. After twirling one such stick, he is brought another and the adventure begins all over again.

In the end, a clown appears and uncovers a single candle, which he had hidden under his clothes. Mocking the previous performance, he moves the candle from side to side, up and down, and around his arms. And in a finale to rival all finales, the clown wets his fingers and snuffs out the candle light, burning himself.
