JOHO PYRO PROFESSIONAL FIREWORKS AB FINLAND

Bay of Cannes August 15, 2026 - 10pm

Theme: Mist into Fire

Conceptor : Johan Hollander

Darkness settles over the crowd as a low mist rolls in, like the sea holding its breath. The first notes of Cry of the Celts rise from silence—ancient and powerful. Red and gold fireworks erupt like awakening forests and marching clans, moving in a steady, tribal rhythm across the sky.

The energy shifts suddenly. A reimagined Beethoven strikes—sharp, modern, electric. Silver-white streaks cut through the sky like controlled lightning, each explosion locked perfectly to the music’s force and timing.

Then a soft rain begins. It starts as a whisper, then grows as Children plays. The sky turns into shades of blue and violet. Fireworks slow down, drifting gently like fading memories—calm, reflective, almost weightless.

From that stillness comes The Lonely Shepherd. A single beam of light rises into the sky. Golden sparks fall slowly, like tears. The moment feels empty, but deeply human—quiet strength inside solitude.

Without warning, silence breaks. I Was Made For Lovin’ You explodes in red and pink. The sky comes alive again—fast, bright, and full of confidence. It feels like a sudden return to life.

The momentum continues with On and On and On. Neon greens, blues, and oranges bounce across the sky in playful, rhythmic bursts. Everything feels unstoppable, like motion itself has taken over.

Then Black Velvet changes the tone again. The colours deepen—rich purples, dark reds, and soft smoke. The movement slows, becoming sensual and atmospheric, like the night itself is breathing.

Finally, Tattoo. The rain returns, heavier now, but no longer sad. Fireworks begin small, then grow layer by layer until the sky is overwhelmed with gold, white, and electric pink. It feels like everything—every sound, every emotion—is being written permanently into the sky.

As the final note fades, a soft golden rain falls over the audience. The light slowly disappears.

Silence returns.

But something has changed.
