Welcome to Sir Henry Hot
The Brilliant Idea
In a dream one night in 1999, Hinrich Joachims had the vision of a burning ball above a concert stage. What seemed to be just a bold fantasy at the time matured into a fire installation that is unrivaled anywhere in the world.
Hinrich became Sir Henry Hot® .
A fire from East Frisia to Bangkok
With over 300 performances, he and his team have been delighting audiences around the world for 15 years. From the Arcadia Spider at the Glastonbury Festival with 175,000 guests or the Santa Pauli Christmas market in Hamburg, the fascination for the power of fire bundled by the fire machines can be found everywhere.
Wacken Open Air Festival W:O:A
Poetic Fire Games to Supernova
The Sir Henry Hot ® flame shows impress with their complexity. The fire machines impress with both poetic fire games and powerful, impressive and detonating flames. The fascinating element of fire is given a new, breathtaking form of expression using computer-controlled techniques. Fire machines that are unique in the world enable a great fire performance that catapults the audience into completely new dimensions.
​
The mysticism of fire, the poetry, the aesthetics, the uncanny, the wild and the brutal become palpable. On the skin, in the body, acoustically and visually. An indescribable experience that combines music, fire, performance and technology.
