About

A fire-powered bar and gathering space where participants don’t just watch the fire — they play with it. Guests can trigger towering bursts at the bar with the push of a button, shape flame through sound with the fire-reactive theremin (Theratiz), and step into the action with the ChillVille Spitfire, a flame photography experience that puts you in the shot. The ChillVillean Man comes to life with operator-triggered bursts, drawing in onlookers. Nearby, the Fire Chandelier offers a constant ambient flame where people gather, warm up, and lose themselves in the experience. DJs, music, and interactive effects create a shared, high-energy fire playground. During the day, a shaded lounge offers workshops, massage, and open space for community-led experiences.
