The Burn of the Threshold of Heat and Light
Description:
After the man! Join the El Dorado Procession and the Burn of The Threshold of Heat and Light. El Dorado is the lost city of gold. The Threshold is a giant white cube covered in the visionary writings of passersby.
"Where have you been?", "Where are you going?", "Where Are You Now?"
The invitation to passersby over the week will be to write on the cube their answers. At the end of the week, covered in answers, inspirations, observations, and sensations, the miniature temple to transitions will be immolated on its own sacred pyre.
Write on it during the week, then, after the man burns, come to Guangzhou & 7:20 and join us in a festive torch-lit procession accompanied by musicians, fire-dancers, and drummers, by mythical characters, soldiers, and pallbearers in golden robes who, en masse, will lift the structure in its decorated entirety and carry it to its appointed pyre on the inner playa. The Threshold of Heat and Light will die in flames and thus cross its own Threshold and carry with its cremation the reins that will pull the hundreds who have written on its walls across the lines of their own Thresholds standing between Where They Have Been and Where They Are Going. In the transcendent fire their intentions will create their futures.
