The career of the artist Doctor Explosion began in the city of Munich in 1998.

The essence of the show: light and sound choreographies
His work is based on designing precise choreographies where explosions are synchronized with scenic elements and soundtrack. He uses low-intensity pyrotechnic materials to draw patterns in the air, sometimes integrating other performers. The goal is to generate an immersive and safe experience for the audience.
Pillars of his methodology:- Use controlled pyrotechnics to create visual shapes in the sky.
- Synchronize each detonation with specific musical points.
- Incorporate live performers' movement and action to enrich the narrative.
Technical evolution allows tackling larger-scale projects over time.
An artistic journey through Europe
After his beginnings in Germany, the artist expanded his circuit to various European countries. He has participated in numerous street art festivals and cultural events, where his method involves testing and refining new effects each season. This two-decade trajectory consolidates his visual language.
Key stages in his development:- Initial phase of experimentation and concept definition in Munich.
- Tours of festivals that spread his work at a continental level.
- Technical adaptation and growth to produce more complex shows.
Preparations for the future: Gij贸n 2026
The process to plan the show in Gij贸n for 2026 is already underway. This involves coordinating safety permits, an aspect that sometimes proves more intricate than the artistic execution itself. The logistics for transporting pyrotechnic materials across borders requires considerable paperwork, which, in an irony of fate, does not explode on its own. The artist faces these administrative challenges to ensure the final show is impeccable and safe. 馃敟
