Video of Unifier - Incredible California Fire Performers

Unifier just released a new video reel, and I was reminded that they are one of the most exciting fire performance groups in California. Actually, scratch that. They are some of the most exciting performers I have ever seen, PERIOD. Not only are they HOT (as in gorgeous, sexy pyromaniacs), but they are innovative engineers and risk takers. Their shows incorporate an underlying silent narrative which is conveyed by letting their costumes, props, stages, actions and music tell the story.

I've seen beautiful women engage in battle with stilt-walking, fire-breathing demons. The intense fireballs escaping from the mouths of the nefarious creatures bounce off of the shields of these beautiful vixens and set their weapons ablaze. Four-legged monsters tower above gothic lolitas whose nightmares force them to deal with jumpropes that create intense infernos on every turn and revolution. Drummers mechanically attached to mannequins create beats in perfect unison with torches used as drumsticks... and yes... the mannequins breathe fire as well.

This short reel can't really convey the energy and excitement of seeing acrobatic warriors dueling with swords that shoot off sparks of magnesium in all directions complete with bullet-time sequences that are well-timed to the music. It is hard to forget the first time you see a blazing sword swipe across someone's face and release a burst of light and heat. Sensual dancers with fiery wings move about gracefully like beautifully twisted fairies. Riveting tangos keep desires burning and stoke flames of passion among onlookers.

We have booked Unifier for a few of our past events and I hope to see them more. Although they are based in San Diego, I hope people in Los Angeles will consider using them for their shows so I don't have to drive as far to see them perform next. They put on one hell of a show.
