Show Bio-Festival

Strings on Fire has a unique festival show combining a unique blend of circus stunts, virtuosic violin and spectacular fire.  Lasting approximately 40 minutes, the show uses comedy, unique stunts, music, audience participation and physical theatre to lead the audience on an exciting romantic journey.

Features of the show include:

  • The most dangerous violin duet in the world: Mare standing on Finhead’s shoulders in heels and both playing violin, with their bows on fire.  The crowd provides a fast clapping beat
  • Carmen: Finhead and Mare both playing on only one violin as they dance a tango with extreme attitude and humour
  • Lumberjack Crunches: Finhead performing multiple sit-ups with an axe balanced on his chin, because he can!
  • Finhead playing violin on one knee with a rose balanced on his nose to melt the heart of his girl
  • The Walk of Death: A volunteer pays the price for flirting with Finhead’s girl!
  • Flaming Fire-bows, Fire juggling, Fire-eating, and many other stunts!
