went to the first night of the WinterCity festival.

they had the Nights of Fire by France's Cie Carabosse which was amazing.

i recommend that everyone try to make it out because it's very different and i've never seen such an interesting installation.

Nights of Fire
by France's Cie Carabosse
Presented by RBC
North American premiere!
Nathan Phillips Square
Fridays & Saturdays
January 25 & 26
February 1 & 2
6 - 9 pm

Experience the enchantment of Nights of Fire, magically created by Cie Carabosse, France's acclaimed fire art troupe in Toronto for their North American premiere.

Fuel the flames of your imagination as you wander among intricate sculptures of metal, clay and fire that will transform Nathan Phillips Square into a wonderland of warmth and light.

The gentle illumination of the entire square will unfold over three hours as clay pots are individually lit until 1500 burn in unison, radiating heat and reflective beauty across the urban landscape.

Haunting musical performances will accompany the fire installation, delicately enhancing the magic and wonder of the flames.

"On nights of fire, the audience discovers a magic previously unexplored. Eyes reflect the sparkle in the flames, and minds open to the surrounding beauty. Soak in the images and experience the emotions. Reflect. Absorb. Enjoy."
-- Cie Carabosse

Enjoy!

Thanks for the photos. I'm planning to go check out Nights of Fire soon.

All that fire makes me think that we should illuminate some streets in this city only with torches, although I wonder how environmentally-friendly (especially bird-friendly) that would be.

Looks very cool. Thanks for posting, I think I'll try to go and check it out tonight.

I can see that all the fire installations aren't surrounded by ropes preventing people from getting close. Good to see that even at a place like City Hall we can still trust people to look out for their own safety.

Here's my shots from the Friday night. Just a warning first though...I found it quite hard to find the correct setting on my camera with the unique light conditions, but here's what I got anyway...
