Vulcano's "experimental" pyrotechnics will set the Prefallas in el Maritim next Saturday
The event, which will be held on March 7 in Barraca-Espadán, will use more than 2,000 fireworks and 800 firing orders to create visual choreographies that evoke musical rhythms.
The Falla Barraca-Espadán has announced the celebration of an experimental pyrotechnics show that, under the artistic title of "Pólvora a la mar", will fire the Vulcano Pyrotecnia with the sponsorship of Cervezas Turia.
The show will take place on Saturday, March 7 at 9:15 pm in the demarkation of the Cabanyal commission and follows the tone of the shots that Vulcano stages during the days before Fallas en la Pólvora a la Vespra, as he did in one of his strong territories, the Plaza del Pintor Segrelles.
From Pirotecnia Vulcano they explain that the project seeks to unite technological innovation and pyrotechnic tradition. In this sense, they clarify that "the most important thing is to be clear that it is not a pyromusical show, but a show full of musicality generated through the pyrotechnic artifices themselves." The objective is to create visual choreographies that evoke rhythms and musical sequences through the technology applied to pyrotechnics. The shot will cover several streets of the demarkation to have a "four corners" effect.
From a technical point of view, "Pólvora a la mar" will feature more than 2,000 pyrotechnics and more than 800 firing orders, coordinated for a show of approximately five minutes. Three Vulcano Pyrotechnics technicians will be in charge of managing the execution of the assembly, which will require several hours of prior preparation due to its technical complexity. Each artifice will be programmed with a specific firing order to achieve the feeling of musicality that defines the show.
The event also features its own visual identity. The poster of the first edition of "Pólvora a la mar", designed by Ibán Ramón, marks the beginning of the construction of the graphic image of the contest, an identity that will be developed and consolidated in future editions. Its minimalist and contemporary aesthetics seek to align with the concept of the show: an innovative, current and high-visual quality pyrotechnic proposal.
As the designer himself explains, the poster also highlights some of the features that define the uniqueness of the event, especially its location in the maritime neighbourhood of Cabanyal. Conceived with a vocation of growth and with the possibility of extending in the future to other commissions in the area, the design places the graphic representation of the sea as a central element, functioning as a direct reference to the urban and geographical context in which the show takes place.
All this is possible thanks to the sponsorship of Cervezas Turia, which has opted to promote a unique cultural and festive proposal focussed on the tradition of gunpowder, one of the most recognisable signs of Valencian culture. The initiative takes place in a neighbourhood with a unique identity linked to the sea, where the Fallas live with their own personality and within a historical commission located in "el cor del Cabanyal", made up of more than 300 falleros and falleras.
El evento, que se celebrará el 7 de marzo en Barraca-Espadán, empleará más de 2.000 artificios y 800 órdenes de disparo para crear coreografías visuales que evocan ritmos musicales
