Fire, walk with me - Firestarter

This concert is part of Ha's season opening. For a whole week we will come together to meet, surprise, listen and celebrate.

Collective fire ritual with An Pierlé

Firestarter is Ha's collaboration with ntgent and KOPERGIETERY. Together we are calling for a collective fire ritual in a public space in the city. It is the culmination of a long and invisible process with organisations inside and outside the cultural field: newcomers, recent graduates, mourners, midwives,... To them and to you, we put the question: "How can we fan our inner flame and make room for a new beginning?"

Lighters of Fire follows 20 children on the eve of puberty. They go through an intense process to prepare for this new phase in their lives. During the ritual, they are the nightly keepers of the fire and stay until the last flame goes out.

“Through the darkness of future past, the magician longs to see, one chants out between two worlds, fire walk with me.”

The audience watches, feels, transforms and becomes part of the bigger picture together with An Pierlé and her bands live music.
