Fire show with live music, acrobatic dance elements and acting
The flaming spectacle tells the legend of Prometheus and interweaves it with the Greek myth of Pandora's Box in a postmodern interpretation. This alternative theater event demonstrates the relevance of centuries-old myths. As a central ritual element, fire brings the legends tangible to a diverse audience.

Der Mensch (Jasmine Schmauder) kämpft gegen seine Gefühle an.
Apollo, god of the arts, and the muse Calliope, who intend to compose a song about fire and the age-old conflict of "emotio versus ratio" – "heart versus brain," – guide the audience through the evening.
They tell of the rebellion of two legends of ancient mythology:
Pandora and Prometheus! In their displeasure with the laws of Olympus, Pandora, the guardian of emotions, and Prometheus, the bringer of fire, dare to undertake a risky experiment—an experiment with far-reaching consequences for all of humanity.
How will humans deal with the flames of emotions? Will Olympus show leniency? The fiery song of light and shadow of human emotions takes shape.
The divine poet Apollo is plagued by a burning question: How will it be sung in the end? As a tragedy or a comedy?
