The Legend of Koi​(​hea)

from Ignition: Arson Anthems by Manko

about

For the 2012 National Cherry Blossom Festival, I was commissioned to produce a musical treatment of a traditional Japanese legend so Dance Afire could perform a massive original choreography to it including flaming arrows, glowing koi-shaped boats in the harbor, and over a dozen dancers. Then a matter of minutes before showtime we were informed that the fire marshall wouldn't let us light up. I apologized to the crowd of hundreds and went off to sulk, only to find out that after I announced we wouldn't be allowed to perform with fire, the fire marshall had repented somewhat and parts of the show were going on. It's always something, y'know?
