Organising an event in a castle, a listed site, a municipal park or a village square requires the utmost care. For estate owners, local councils, festival committees or event organisers looking for an original wedding entertainment idea, the fear of damaging a stone floor, scorching a lawn or causing damage to the venue is entirely justified.
Whether it’s Kum-Kum’s solo street performance (such as the show GOA) or the KumAnati Company’s event-based performances, we apply the same golden rule: to offer a poetic, spectacular and magical experience, whilst ensuring safety, total respect for the venue and leaving no trace of our visit.
The School of Street Performing Arts: Respect for public spaces
As a street artist wandering along the cobblestones, the squares and the festivals for many years, I have developed a very strict standard for the terrain.
In the world of street performance, public spaces belong to everyone. Leaving even the slightest bit of rubbish, the slightest stain or any damage on public land is quite simply unacceptable:
It is a matter of respect for the local residents, local authorities and shopkeepers who welcome us.
This is the sine qua non condition for maintaining an impeccable reputation and being invited back to play at the same venue season after season.
We apply this attention to detail – honed through our work with the public and local authorities – meticulously to all the exceptional private venues, estates and châteaux that open their doors to us for wedding receptions or private functions.
A fire show designed to protect the sites
Our fire shows are designed from the outset to respect the environment in which they take place. We have chosen disciplines that will leave no trace.
No splashes or residue: We do not use any coal, do not spill any liquid onto the ground and do not emit any ash spray.
Strict protection of floors: No hot or object that is alight must never be placed directly on the ground, the paving stones or the lawn.
Expertise and flexibility: We carefully assess the constraints of each venue. If a venue does not allow for fire-based performances, we adapt the show using our 100 per cent light-based packages (high-definition LED technology, Pixel Poi), which are just as immersive.
Safety and cleanliness: there is no place for amateurism
The events and fire arts sector sometimes suffers from a lack of professionalism among amateurs or untrained practitioners—such as lawns scorched by hot equipment, fuel stains on the ground, or gear left lying around amidst the audience. These negative experiences foster understandable mistrust among venue managers.
A recognised professional requirement
To ensure safety and a smooth process without any damage whatsoever:
Artistic and technical rigour: Kum-Kum and the artists performing for the KumAnati Company adhere to a strict safety and hygiene protocol at every performance.
Self-contained and tidy set-up: We provide our own sound and lighting equipment. The workspace remains clearly marked out, tidy and spotless from start to finish.
Direct communication with the venues: We always liaise in advance with venue managers, owners and organisers to confirm the safety perimeters and the specific features of the site.
Recommended by exceptional towns, festivals and estates
It is this constant commitment that has earned us warm recommendations from local councils, festivals and event venues in Brittany, the Pays de la Loire region and throughout France (Château du Boschet, Château de Noirbreuil, Domaine Le Mezo, Domaine Les Jardins d’Arsène, etc.).
