The Ancient Art of Fire Eating

Fire performer fire eating

Fire eating was originally part of the Hindu, Sadhu and Fakir religion; it was used to demonstrate spiritual attainment. It allowed the fire-eaters to communicate with the deity Kali Maa.

In the late 1800’s fire eating started appearing in the standard sideshow and circus acts; where it originally started to gain its popularity. Fire eating is still as popular as it once was, stunning and mesmerizing audiences are still thrilled by its fascinating and dangerous allure.

We have several fire performers that fire eat and flesh, contact us if you are looking for a specific fire eating act.

The History of Fire Dancing

THE AZTECS

The ancient Aztecs performed rituals to the fire god ‘Xiuhtecuhtli.’ This fire dance is still performed in Mexico today to demonstrate ancient traditions.

ISLAND CULTURES

French Polynesia, Antiqua, Cuba, Saint Lucia and Bali all have fire dancing as part of their culture and tradition. In Bali fire dancing was originally used in a trance like ritual called the ‘Sanghyang’; it was a dance of protection to ward off witches.

MODERN FIRE DANCING

Fire dancing today can been seen all over the world, from demonstrations of ancient traditions to breathtaking circus performances. Typically ‘Fire Dancing’ in a circus act is performed as the Grande Finale of an event.

Kiki Totally Outrageous acts very much like a comic book character come to life. She’s a bedazzling busker bent on colouring the entire book-signing spectacle with her charisma. Just when the young minds were turning to mush from all the literature they were learning, Kiki appeared to recharge the huddled masses with her hula-hooping prowess.
