My name is Das, Andrey Das. I am a fire breather
but I'd rather call what I do… Pyroplastie.
Fire is authentic
and in an era where we are surrounded by electrical lights
Fire has an even greater reason to exist
and that is to remind us that we are still, and will always be
human beings.
I met a guy one day and
we got along great
and he asked me: do you want to learn how to breathe fire?
I accepted We became friends real fast and
since then I never stopped.
I am not pyromaniac, I do not take pleasure in seeing things burn
I am not much of a pyrophile either
even though I love BBQ, chimneys, fireworks as well as breathing and juggling fire.
I find that there is something fascinating about fire.
something ... superb
and that's what really drew me in.
I've thrown the question around in my head
and I think that what really fascinates me
is the act of manipulating an element that is uncontrollable
which is fire.
It's weird because we're in 2012 and the word -artist- nowadays means nothing
the word meant something a hundred years ago
but now the word could be summarized as…
accomplishing one's life.
I think we're all artists and our greatest piece, is our life.
There are no concessions to make.
you can't want to be somebody else, you have to be yourself.
You can't lie to yourself, when you want something
Be yourself, Entirely. not half way. 100% yourself.
My greatest achievement
is having maintained my passion within myself and made it live
and my greatest pride is to continue sharing that passion.
I came to fire and I fell in love with it, because it represents values that are important for me.
But it's not fire, for the sake of fire.
I don't like burning myself, hurting myself, seeing things destroyed
I love creating.
