The French are coming to London<\/a>, and they\u2019re about to set the Royal Docks on fire. That\u2019s because French fire alchemists, Compagnie Carabosse, are coming to the Royal Docks tonight and tomorrow to bring their dazzling Rekindling <\/strong>show to our fair city.<\/p>\n

The evocative fire installation<\/a> will set the area alight with a dazzling display<\/strong>. It will also make use of sounds, music, and stories from the docks and surrounding areas to reflect on the past, present, and future of the Royal Docks.<\/p>\n

Rekindling at the Royal Docks <\/p>\n

Rekindling will take place outside the Royal Docks City Hall on September 25 and 26<\/a> \u2013 that\u2019s tonight and tomorrow!<\/strong> Kicking off at 7pm, the show will suffuse the area with a dazzling, fiery display. Oh, and did we mention that it\u2019s FREE to attend<\/a>?!<\/p>\n

Exploring the Royal Docks\u2019 history, the show digs into its role as the largest enclosed docks in the world during the Industrial Revolution. <\/strong>It then looks out to its current position in London as a \u201cre-emerging hub for culture, creative industries, and enterprise.\u201d<\/p>\n

The show comprises part of the Royal Docks Originals\u2019 new biennial festival, which launched this year. Running until October 4<\/a>, the festival encompasses three weeks and offers a free programme of over 50 events and attractions<\/strong>. These range from street performances to LED artworks, large-scale murals, live music, poetry, and more.<\/p>\n

The group behind the fire <\/p>\n

Compagnie Carabosse are already widely known around the world for their fiery installations. These range from Fire Gardens<\/strong> to the \u2018Alphabet of Fire<\/strong>\u2018. The street art group\u2019s other works and experiments include community-based research events and artistic endeavours that merge storytelling with a back-to-basics approach to creativity.<\/p>\n

This is the collective\u2019s first visit to London since 2016, when they brought the \u2018London\u2019s Burning\u2019 event to life to mark 350 years since the Great Fire of London<\/a><\/strong>. Clearly, they had a burning desire to return!<\/p>\n
