Yes I have got this wrong. I meant what is the technical name for the form of entertainment commonly known as fireworks. None of my questions are going right today.

Fireworks technically known as pyrotechnics is the answer.
A firework is classified as low explosive pyrotechnic device used primarily for aesthetic and entertainment purposes. The most common use of a firework is as part of a fireworks display.
Pyrotechnics is a field of study often thought synonymous with the manufacture of fireworks, but more accurately has a wider scope that includes items for military and industrial uses. Items such as safety matches, oxygen candles, explosive bolts and fasteners, and the automobile safety airbag all fall under the purview of pyrotechnics.
Pyrotechnics are used in the entertainment industry divided into categories based on the device's main effects, among them bangs, flashes, flames, or smoke.
