At the FUSION Festival in Lärz i did a cooperation with Fiery Creatures from Rostock for the Firespace opening show.
I think there were about 7 performance artists who came to my Fusion home base, "Neuland" , to let me transform them into the queen of the underworld, an invincible monster, half-decayed animals, magicians and shamans using body painting.
The "Firespace" is a place in the cosmos of FUSION where fire artists from all over the world have their home. Day and night, everything that is common in the fire performance scene is performed and trained: juggling, hula hoop, poi acts, flow art, spitting - eating- hurling fire.
The show was epic - goosebumps epic.

I have rarely experienced such a powerful performance.
What was outstanding is that Fiery Creatures combined their creature with the appropriate fire tool. This way the crown of the Queen of the Underworld ( Surreal Spheres ) was on fire and the fire fans gave her the authority she deserved.
The monster Ali_unleashed was on a leash. As an animal untamed by the queen, he threw himself on the ground and tore himself away from her. A remarkable feat, because he was sick with a fever at the time and the summer day must have exceeded the 30 degree temperature limit.
What he did with his rope dart was epic. The combination of the music, the action and the make-up was unbeatable.
I am proud and happy to have been a part of the performance.
These are the kinds of moments I've always wanted for my body paintings. Magical collaborations.
