Performers create a spark While the Fireworks light up the sky, on the ground Flux performers will dazzle with mesmerising displays involving fire, pyrotechnic, and LED effects. Flux was born from a mutual love and passion for flow arts, fire and object manipulation, which further developed into a love for pyrotechnics, and producing high-impact visual productions. Flux love to do things mega – and are known nationally for providing incredibly high impact and unique shows, with a sense of style that is distinctively known as their own. At Ekka 2024 this will involve fire & pyrotechnic spinning, where the large rotating steel frames being manipulated have pyrotechnic effects streaming out. The visual masterpiece is further enhanced by world leading LED effects, utilising props that create visual LED pixel imagery while being spun! New - Crowd Canvas This mind-blowing visual display puts EkkaNITES crowd members in the driver’s seat for the show, with guest’s phones used to create a moving visual canvas. Audience members simply download the CrowdCanvas app, open it up and hold up their phone to be part of the bigger picture, with the platform using each phone as a pixel to create large visual canvases – painting the night with sound and light. The mobile phone platform enables audiences to not only be 'more active' users but become 'fully immersed participants' in the EkkaNITES show with the ability to take the Mexican Wave to the next level or using your phone light to cheer on your favourite competitor!
