Silicon Valley And Burners eventually sq. Off In “Burning Man: The Musical”

as soon as regarded as a sandpit for hedonistic revelry for artists, hippies, and imaginative and prescient-seekers, Burning Man, for higher or worse, has been co-opted by way of the Silicon Valley set. the stress between the self-proclaimed authentic Burners and the brogrammers simply looking to community is as thick as the mud (and musk) on the playa—and it’s a stress that can only be resolved via tune and dance.

Curtains up for Burning Man: The Musical.

“Joe is a younger, pushed techie in Silicon Valley. He sees Burning Man as his shot to community with Silicon Valley elites who can jumpstart his profession and help him reach his lifelong purpose of becoming a multimillionaire with the aid of age 30. He crashes a techie plug-and-play camp at Burning Man. Chad and bill the Billionaire suggest he go on a imaginative and prescient quest by way of taking mushrooms and going into the deep playa. A dust storm comes when Joe reaches the trash fence, and he virtually dies from dehydration and publicity. Hal the Hippie comes out of the mud storm to rescue him, and like Yoda, he takes Joe below his wing to train him within the methods of Burning Man.” — Burning Man: The Musical

Matt Werner, who so fittingly works at Google as a technical creator, is penning Burning Man: The Musical and has launched an Indiegogo campaign to fund the subsequent two songs. but for now, we now have the five-minute intro that introduces us to the ever-confident Joe (“when I get to Black Rock metropolis, I’m-a party with Elon and Diddy! It has the world’s most creative minds who experience our vehicles and go away it all in the back of!”), his skeptical pal David (“Yo, I heard it’s a shitshow: Skrillex and Diplo—white privileged and best the wealthy go…”), Burners Sparkle Pony and Hal the Hippie (“I dreamed a dream of Burns long gone with the aid of, when I was once excessive, that Burning Man reached its height in ’09, and now the techies come to plug and play whereas they scowl and don’t take part.”), and Joe’s Glass-hole, douchebag boss bill (“I’ll be in Ibiza with Sean Parker—hold my calls.”)
