Map of an Island called Atlantis at the moment of being devoured by the fury of volcans in a black sea
In part building castles in the air is an art. Of course castles in this context doesn’t mean a building of stone with kings and princess but a structure made with reed designed to contain the armature of fireworks. It’s a Peruvian tradition but I don’t remember see it in TV in another country. It’s used for middle size celebrations, usually neighborhood anniversaries. A way to remember the creation of a group destroying with fire a figure.
Building a giant to conquest the world
The art of destroying castles with fire requires skill and imagination from the master at charge. It’s assembly the same day of the celebration because it’s in the public street, so I guess it’s mildly legal and more something authorized by tradition. As it’s a celebration food, beer and a priest is important. I don’t follow any religion and I dislike beer since kid so I just go to see the castles. Every year it’s chosen a different family from the neighborhood to hire the master of castles to the next year. This castle is in a little block of Arequipa city.
Abstract and natural
As you can see above they’re not simple creatures. The spectacle has to last at least near half an hour so it requires several levels, a little theatre of lights with different colors exploding one after the other.
Gold in fire
The spectacle starts, the master choose first a rain of gold (that last should sound good but sadly means another thing too xD)
electrical language
The colors starts to fire the song of an electric angel, turning into silhouettes to the assistants.
smog and fire
Like a slow breathing before a new fireworks show the giant have a little pause. The silhouettes are humans again for a while.
Look at me! Are you not entertained?!
Now the fireworks yell intense colors in his body of six hearts.
Feathers of phoenix
Always the fire shine more when its final is closer. There is a jewel in the night and as a sunset it’s going to be unrepeatable (so I’ll take some pics :P)
Zeus unbounded
A last robe of white color. so in that way the spectacle ends. But the party continues so the fireworks are send to the sky to explode in roses of several colors, messengers lost in the night.
Spirit flying to the borders of the space
But the beer is going to last until the next midday and even after that the body says (perhaps) enough.
