Firetheater

Firetheater originally began in Bombay 2010, with several fire dancers coming together with a host of creatives. 

What culminated was a reoccurring ensembles of different performance art forms with fire dancing. The insight and perspectives from these soulful encounters treasures from and for,  a lifetime’s keeping. 

In so, the bridge of perspective is eternal, and the plethora of the artistic compatibility the repertoire of the performer. 

The coming together around fire the inherent creativity of soul on display. 

With live music genres like opera, funk, classical, carnatic and spoken, and ensemble dance forms of fire-dancing, break dance, kalaripayatu, Indian classical, capoeira and Hawaiian to name a few.  Over the years, the discipline of fire has included fire-walks, performances, workshop and esoteric initiations in its depths.

The Triumph Song of Trisanku - Constellation Crux

I shall not die. crystal Agni TrisankuAlthough this body, when the spirit tires Of its cramped residence, shall feed the fires, My house consumes, not I. Leaving that case I find out ample and ethereal room. My spirit shall avoid the hungry tomb, Deceiving death's embrace. Night shall contain 

The sun in its cold depths; 

Time too must cease; 

The stars that labour shall have their release. 

I cease not, I remain. 

Ere the first seeds 

Were sown on earth, I was already old, 

And when now unborn planets shall grow cold 

My history proceeds. 

I am the light.

In stars, the strength of lions and the joy 

Of mornings; I am man and maid and boy, 

Protean, infinite. 

I am a tree 

That stands out singly from the infinite blue; 

I am the quiet falling of the dew 

And am the unmeasured sea. 

I hold the sky 

Together and upbear the teeming earth. 

I was the eternal thinker at my birth 

And shall be, though I die.
