In an explosive fusion of light, sound, and movement that left attendees blown away, the Pyrotechnic Guild International (PGI) 2023, was brought to a close by a performance that seamlessly integrated drone show technology with the grandeur of pyrotechnics. This collaborative performance is a testament to the potential of combined technologies to tell captivating stories.
The riveting display, telling the story of humanity winning in an AI dystopia, was the result of collaborative efforts of Verge Aero Network partners Rozzi Famous Fireworks, Flylight Drones, Fantasy Drone Shows, and professional pyrotechnic organizations, including Spirit of 76 Fireworks and Cobra Firing Systems. The work highlights the power of integration and strength of partnerships between drone technology and pyrotechnics.

The tight integration of the drone show and pyrotechnics was key to the performance storyline. As lasers shot from the eyes of a robot, created by drones, perfectly synchronized pyrotechnics created fiery explosions adding depth and drama to the experience. Additionally, the combined technologies celebrated the ultimate triumph of humanity in the narrative, with a robot hand closing on the robot head, turning it into a graceful butterfly accompanied by colorful and celebratory fireworks.
