Hekate's Torch is a first-of-its-kind performance that merges a drone light show with the elemental art of fire dancing.
Inspired by the goddess Hekate, the show opens with an ancient Greek hymn sung in her honor thousands of years ago. Five priestesses perform this ritual in the hope of invoking her presence and receiving her blessing, calling upon her light and fire to guide the world safely through its current crossroads and into transformation.
