Synopsis
Burning Man is an annual festival held in the high desert wilderness of Northern Nevada. Each Labor Day Week, for five days and nights, thousands of artists, performers, and "free-spirits" converge on one of the Earth's largest outdoor performance art space. Citizens of Burning Man participate in an experimental community, which celebrates "Creativity and the Re-Invention of Self". The Celebration culminates in the Ritual Burning of an enormous Human Effigy.
