The Twilight Voyage of the Ark of Ozan-RA

NOV 26 2013 · 03:00

Sailing from the Man to the Temple of Whollyness, Pepe Ozan's Ark, built for the 2002 Burning Man Opera and reborn as the Narwhal, leads singers, musically networked art cars, acro-stilters, giant masks and other performers in a celebration inspired by the Operas of old and ancient Egyptian rites. Moving from Sun Fire through Dark Waters, the event transforms loss and disruption into joy and growth, helping Pepe and other recently departed join the grateful dead who pull the barque of the sun god through eternity. Co-producers: Christopher Fülling, Meghan Rutigliano and Mister WA Musical Direction: eO and Goyo Aranaga with Kyrstyn Pixton and Richard Marriott Associated Ensembles: Bad Unkl Sista, Gamelan X, The Carpetbag Brigade Camera/Edit: Brian Wimer for Amoeba Films. More groups/individuals did manifest as this was improvisational by nature. Filmed at Burning Man 2013. http://playaevents.burningman.com/playa_event/8610/ http://arkofozanra.org/
