Fire dancer performs with flaming props at Oaxaca church plaza

An elderly man sits on a wooden bench playing a brown acoustic guitar. He wears a patterned shirt, dark pants, and dark shoes. Above him, on the wall, hangs a framed nude painting of a woman. The room has an aged aesthetic with white and brown walls, and dark patterned tile on the floor. A string of lights and colorful decorations is strung across the ceiling. A goat head trophy is mounted high on the wall in the corner of the room. The camera pans upward from the man playing guitar, showcasing the wall art, string lights, and goat head.

At night, in a stone-paved square in front of a brightly lit, ornate stone building, a woman performs a fire dance. She wears a short, shiny skirt, a light-colored top, and dark boots that come up to her knees. She twirls a hoop and rods, all with flames burning at their ends. Spectators sit on the steps behind her, watching.

A person performs a fire-spinning act in a plaza at night, in front of a large, illuminated church. The fire spinner, possibly female, wears a short, dark-colored dress and boots, spinning multiple torches that create bright streaks of light. The church, with its detailed facade and two prominent bell towers, serves as an impressive backdrop. A group of people are seated along a low wall, watching the performance. Other onlookers are scattered around the plaza, some standing near a set of stairs. A backpack and what appears to be a small sound system are on the ground near the fire spinner. The plaza is paved with large, light-colored stones. The sky is dark, emphasizing the illuminated church and the firelight.
