The vertical mascletà unveils a final terremoto never seen
The show, to be held on February 25, will include a new pyrotechnic system hoisted with cranes
After the years in which the beach was home to the Neapolitan "mascletà", the festival program included, on one of the big Saturday parties, a big shot in the Turia Garden. Two years later it is considered that the model is exhausted and the program of 2017 includes as a novelty a new shot, the "mascletà vertical", which will allow attendees to contemplate pyrotechnics in a different way than conventional.
The event will take place on Saturday 25, at eight in the afternoon; That is, when it is already dark, so it will be a mixed shot of noise and light. And although those responsible for it have not yet wanted to advance much more data, the most important is the one that refers to the earthquake (= terremoto), which will move vertically, subject to cranes and reach 50 meters in height.

On that occasion, for example, Ricardo Caballer shot again for the town hall with the piromusical of the Prince Felipe Museum.
On the night of October 8th, the Pirotecnia del Mediterraneo already fired "fires in levitation", in which a metal tower, in which the casings were set, allowed to see the firing at different heights and giving the impression that They came out of nowhere. In this case, the impression will be given by the movement of the masclets strips with their combination of sound and light. This shot will also be the event organized by the Amstel brewery beyond its particular image campaign. Last year he paid the «mascletà for Unesco» on the last day of February. This year, that date will be the "mascletà composer" organized by Arroz La Fallera.
The precedent of Guo-Qiang
Vertical pyrotechnics have their maximum expression in the "Stairway to Heaven" created by the artist Guo-Qiang and materialized in June 2015. On that occasion, and after two previous attempts, raised a pyrotechnic staircase up to 500 meters high..
