The drums set your pulse racing. The flames blur
your vision. The smell of burning could be the
fireworks, or perhaps the devil walks the streets of
Melbourne tonight.
The tradition of the Correfoc (fire-run) is one of the
world’s most ecstatic sensory bombardments, and
for twenty years Basque company Deabru Beltzak
has been setting the world ablaze with ritualistic
percussion and extravagant costumes loaded head
to toe with pyrotechnics. Hard and fast drumming
seems to conjure exploding fountains of fire and
bestial energies induce a pagan frenzy that cannot
be contained.
Far more than a concert, Les Tambours de Feu will
propel you headlong on a dizzy parade through
Melbourne itself. Nothing else can hold a candle to it.
