Spanish dancer dies after being hit by flare during live show
The pyrotechnics accident that killed Joana S¨¢inz, 30, took place during a performance by the Super Hollywood Orchestra in a village in ?vila province
A Spanish dancer and choreographer died in the early hours of Sunday morning after being hit by an exploding flare during a live show in Las Berlanas, in ?vila province.
Joana S¨¢inz, 30, was performing with the Super Hollywood Orchestra when the freak accident took place. The show included a pyrotechnics display.
Isidoro L¨®pez, manager of PRONES, a promotion company representing the orchestra, said he does not understand how it could have happened, but told the EFE news agency it might be due to ¡°a manufacturing problem.¡±
He said that similar flares have been used ¡°thousands of times¡± in past performances without any trouble. The devices are 25 centimeters long with a three-centimeter diameter, and the sparks last for about 15 seconds, the news agency reported.
S¨²per Hollywood has canceled its tour and its members are said to be shocked at the loss of an ¡°excellent¡± colleague who had been with them for around six years.
