360 is a study of the visual nature and beauty of fire, exploring the strong feelings that fire arouses in all of us. The performance combines the worlds of dance and fire circus. The performers carry out masterful moves with burning poles, ropes and hoops. 360 goes beyond the two-dimensionality of fire art, taking place on a round stage that can be viewed from all directions. The 25-minute performance will take place daily at 6 pm and 7:30 pm.
Performance time: Daily 6 pm and 7.30 pm
