“When the world becomes too serious, humor is the best way to pull the rug from beneath our senses and restore our footing in the world.” - The Ancient Puppet Oracle of Lost Socks
This yearÂ’s Burnal Theme will focus on HUMOR and rituals related to it! Humor comes in many forms and is an essential part of human survival, social dialogue, play, and innovation. Humor can reveal the truth, change perspectives, open minds, and pave the way for understanding and deeper human experience. At a time when there has been grief, trauma and fear, we will seek to respond by creating a safe and sacred creative playground for humor, laughter, and perseverance to unfold.
Calling artists and humorists of every conceivable kind, whether theme camp based, artistic, musical, workshop, or mash-up thereof--especially puppets! Help create absurd, comical, ironic, sarcastic, slapstickian, surprising, incongruous, and pun-ny experiences, and encourage other participants to do the same! There will, of course, also be all the things you normally love about Burnal Equinox, including a full range of human expression, art, socializing and dancing.
New this year! We are adding an early evening component you will not want to miss: The Intra-Psychic Puppet Dinner Theatre*, featuring wise (cracking) puppet oracles, a Sock Puppet Creation Station, The Altar of Missing Socks (bring your offerings), and much more! If you are a puppeteer (or know one), we would love for you to join us.
