Fire breathing / handling / effects
In case you use any type of fire in your performance we require a detailed description in order to check if this can be done in a safe way.
Paint or other colouring agents
The use of paint or other coloring agents is only allowed if the use cannot cause damage to the decors and light and sound equipment (e.g. splashes that may end up on the technical equipment).
Acts resulting in visible injuries
Belgian Law strictly forbids shows that result in visible injuries (such as needles, hooks etc… ). General guidelines:
