Fire and light show from the Czech Republic entertained audiences in Saudi Arabia

Fire show by one of the Aliatrix teams in Arar, Saudi Arabia, entertained thousands of spectators at the end of Ramadan celebrations. It was an unexpected event - the client first called on Tuesday, a week before departure. For our show manager, it was the start of a marathon that brought more experiences and challenges than he first thought.

What do you need to arrange for a fire and light show in Saudi Arabia?

For the most part, it's pretty straightforward.

• Choose great performers

• Prepare some fancy fire and light choreography

• Communicate with the client about visas, hotels, facilities, catering, conditions, flights (we recommend our partner company), ...

• Pack all the equipment well to pass the luggage check

• Try everything out on the spot and get into it.

In two or three weeks, it is usually nothing special.

!! BUT !!!

In a moment when there is a week to do everything, in which you still have to deal with Ramadan (working hours are very limited at this time), it is a very powerful experience and lesson that would test the management skills of just about anyone.

However, everything was managed. The fire show was ready and the Aliatrix team flew to Saudi Arabia.

But that wasn't the end of the adventure. Saudi Arabian weather decided to show us its wilder side and the original five show days were reduced to three and half. The performers were forced off the stage several times by a rather violent sandstorm.

We're so glad that people liked the fire show and that the client was happy. We are already working on another show (this time purely light show) in this beautiful and unusual country, and we're really looking forward to it.
