It’s been a dream of mine for the past few years to bring my SF-based production to Burning Man, specifically a Bonnie & Clyde show which takes place in the 1930s: the Dustbowl era. My last time at Burning Man was 2014 and that year, I said I would only go back if I were to produce a live show there.

This year, that dream is becoming a reality and I’ve been working hard over the past few weeks to create a one-hour stage show that is more narrative-driven than ever at none other than Dustfish! The Dustfish stage has been hosting performing arts events for nearly 15 years on the playa in the best location I could have asked for: 9:30 & Esplanade.

The show is called “Bass Cabaret: In Dust We Trust” and it will take place on Thursday evening at 7pm, 9:30 & Esplanade.

In one segment of the show, I will invite audience members to be part of a gender neutral fashion show / dance-off.  Until the 1930s, it was illegal for men to be topless in the USA in most public places until they protested and took a stand. Today, women must fight for the same right. The dance-off segment challenges the unequal treatment of nipples under the law and echoes the show’s theme of resistance with a nod to my #NipFlip project.  In the way that Bonnie & Clyde fearlessly resisted authority at any costs for the sake of love and freedom, I ask the audience to consider waking up any part of them that is dormant or despairing and participate in affecting change in the world.

Apathy is your enemy. 

No more complacency. 

What is your legacy?

Finalists in the dance-off will be rewarded handsomely with a silly serenade by Tess Marie, frisking by our enforcement agency, barely legal contraband, and 100 Decibels.

Thank you to all my patrons who exchange their fiat currency every month so that I can continue to provide meaningful experiences to others.
