Showflamme is a fire company founded in 2001 whose artistic universe is above all that of the imaginary and the poetic. Above all else, it favours authenticity and a sense of community, which is why it surrounds itself with artists who love their craft.
On the ground, Showflamme is a must when it comes to illuminating and sublimating public or private spaces, transforming them into magical places through the installation of its decorations and sculptures of fire and flames.
​
As part of "Mons 2015 Cultural Capital", Showflamme created and staged a large-scale river show featuring 3 barges: "L'Armada des 1.000 feus".
The floating stages were born out of the Parade des Fous Flottants, a parade of wild artistic boats on the Sambre river in Namur. Studying their construction has enabled us to come up with solutions for our stages' buoyancy and movement.
​
After 3 editions, Showflamme created the aquatic show "Contes à la dérive" with the participation of the Embarqué Collective.
Given the success of this show, the desire to continue was obvious.
Showflamme uses a wide variety of water surfaces to create different experiences, on one or more platforms, with a unique fire scenography on which artists from different disciplines (musicians, singers, fire artists, acrobats, etc.) perform.
​
One of the show's unique attractions is the fluidity and almost supernatural movement of the boats thanks to a system of remote controls developed by Pierre D'haenens and Patrick Rémy.
Through its productions, Showflamme takes over the public space and helps to create a contemporary collective imagination tinged with dreams and poetry.
