Hippie celebration, pagan party, art festival,
experimental community or utopian society ... ?
| The atmosphere is charged with electricity. The tense is growing up. Even the sun takes more time to leave as for postpone the moment everyone is waiting for ... Tonight the man will burn !! The burning of the symbol is the end of the city. The ultimate fire. The crowd sing hysterical songs to say farewell .The cacophony is everywhere. Powerful Lasers. Haunting drums and fire works. It’s impressive !! When the crowd is celebrating the burning man, the citizens have partys and fill the desert with music. The huge fair will burn like the fire, like Dante’s inferno ... After months of work, the temple is finished. For David Best it’s the time of fullfillment. The temple is became the property of the community. The citizens take ownership of it and write messages to their families, their friends, their departed love ones. The temple is full of tributes and becomes a sanctuary. The frenzy turns into meditation. The crowd watches the last fire. The fire restored the Playa to its original state.... That lost desert where the world is reborn each year from its own ashes... Keep the fire Burning ! |
