FIRE DERVISH
This enchanting and captivating act is performed by Maedir Rigolo and Lena Roth’s eldest daughter, Lara. This ritual fascinates audiences with its beautiful costumes and hypnotising turns, and causes a unanimous intake of breath as the artist’s dress catches fire.
Under the guidance of Zyia Azazi, a choreographer from Istanbul, Lara was able to develop this act for BEAUTIFUL TURNS. It has since been performed with Circus Roncalli, at reggae music awards, at fashion show openings and even in some music videos. Lara is currently working on a new choreography in which a unicyclist spins astonishingly amidst the flames.
