INSECTOTRÒPICS: 'THE LEGEND OF BURNING MAN'

The Legend of Burning Man presents the story of a man whom everyone has heard of, but nobody knows his name. A myth for millions of people, capable of igniting the net at fire speed and triggering in his path a wave of revolutions.

It is a show that appears as a poetic and dream journey, based on real events, where video art, painting, theater, live music and performance merge into a brutal and explosive multimedia show that must be seen in action, moving through the 360° stage. It’s like this in order to be seen from all possible angles. A real vision proposed just as reality, or a viral piece of news on the net. Quite a circling path that attempts to answer a big question of our time: If we are all on the web, who is the spider?
