Campbells Cove, Vivid Sydney, Fire Water
Fire Water was a performance at Campbells Cove at The Rocks which was part of the Vivid Sydney festival. There were three shows a night over four nights of the long weekend, 11th-14th June. This year, the show was based on the voyage of the tall ship Sydney Cove, which was sent from Calcutta to Sydney in 1797 by merchant Robert Campbell. It included Aboriginal performers, Bollywood inspired dancing, glowing light installations and fire sculptures. The show ended with a glowing tall ship entering the cove, sailors descending down on aerialist tissus, cranes unloading glowing barrels into the harbour and billows of colourful smoke bursting from it in the style of the Indian Holi festival.
