The Tradition

What is Correfoc?

Correfoc is one of the most iconic celebrations of the Mediterranean world. For centuries, communities have gathered behind devils, sparks, drums, and fire in a collective ritual of joy and transformation.

The Burning Man installation reinterprets this tradition through a monumental interactive sculpture designed by Dani Nebot and produced by Miguel Arraiz.

The Experience

Ritual in three acts

01. Enter

Atravesar

Walk through the monumental structure, where scale defies perspective and warm light breathes through wood.

02. Gather

Reunir

Share the space with friends and strangers, becoming part of a living choreography of shadow and flame.

03. Transform

Transformar

Experience fire, light, sound, and ritual — and emerge different than you entered.
