Cinematography: V for Vendetta (2005)

The final scene from a 2005 dystopian political action film directed by James McTeigue (in his feature directorial debut) from a screenplay by the Wachowskis shows the demolition of the Parliament by an explosives-filled train. It's not necessarily fireworks at first but they do come, and are accompanied by a most epic monologue from Natalie Portman!

Painting: Giacomo Balla, Sketch for the ballet by Igor Stravinsky: Fireworks (1915).

We mentioned Igor Stravinsky’s “short orchestral fantasy” in the previous issue of our series. Giacomo Balla designed sets and lighting for its premiere on 12 April 1917, at Teatro Costanzi in Rome. Although the production was commissioned and produced by Sergei Diaghilev, Feu d’Artifice was not, in fact, a ballet, but rather a light show orchestrated on a geometrical set created by Giacomo Balla.

Literature: Adam Silvera, More Happy Than Not (2015)

Adam Silvera (born June 7, 1990) is an American author of young adult fiction novels, known for his bestselling novels They Both Die at the End and Infinity Son. His debut novel More Happy Than Not tells the story of a teenager who decides to have an alteration procedure to straighten himself out, even if it means forgetting who he truly is.

“I ignite the wick, and the firework takes flight. In that moment, I wish my existence were as simple as being set on fire and exploding in the sky.”
