“The spectacle has the primal impact of a tribal ritual…Among the most evocative
of quasi-primitive rites anywhere…The magical simplicity and beauty of the
crackling fires reflected in the water…add to the charmed and quiet atmosphere.”
(The New York Times)
An award-winning international major public art
event by the artist Barnaby Evans, using fire, music

WaterFire that has the power to transport us to
another realm.

unique and powerful sense of sharing or intimacy that develops among
persons who share a group experience while building communities.
