This was truely a unique live pyromusical perfromance blooming from the wilderness of Australia’s Top End, ‘The Colours of Kakadu’ took the audience on a magical journey of pyrotechnic colour and rhythm. As eMDee distintive didgeridoo tones and percussive beats echoed across the lake and pyrotechnic stars painted the entire sky line and illuminated the lake to replicate the wild scenery and seasons of the famous Kakadu national park.

Andrew Howard said “We were delighted with how the display came together, Stuart’s design work was exceptional, the entire crew worked very hard in hot conditions, eMDee were sensational; the crowd were amazed by this unique live pyromusical performance. I would really like to personally thank all the hard working Le Ronde pyrotechnicians who work with us each day on the ramps to set up the show, they all work so hard all day long and we couldn’t produce our show without their hard work and professional approach to the art of fire. They are a great team to work with and I thank them for all their hard work to make our show the spectacle it was.”
