The Story of Fire has been brought to life in a mesmerising performance which is sure to keep audiences on the edge of their seats during the Mandela Bay Arts Festival.
Performed, written and choreographed by classical ballet dancer Selah Liberty Joy, the show, presented by Nature Theatre, is an immersive experience.
Enchanting, spellbinding and filled with unforgettable moments, The Story of Fire is a performance everyone will enjoy.
Incorporating elements of dance, music, poetry and conversations about life, the show, which premiered at the 2022 Makhanda National Arts Festival, has everything a discerning theatregoer will enjoy.
Joy must be commended on her star-like presence and welcoming nature, something the audience immediately experiences and enjoys throughout the stellar performance.
The Story of Fire showcases a variety of different fire-dancing props, each with its own meaning and manner of handling.
In a skilfully handled production, Joy illustrates how and why fire is so important to life and beyond.
Starting with small hand-held flames and proceeding to more intricate and fiery props, The Story of Fire culminates in spectacular display of bravery as Joy rises as the Fire Phoenix while dancing with 15 flames around her body.
Catch The Story of Fire on Wednesday at 7.30pm at the Athenaeum Outdoor.
