San Vicente del Raspeig’s urban theater troupe focus cars stuck at arts festival burning man held every year United States Nevada desertdue to heavy rains this year turned the sand into a swamp and left nearly 70,000 people stranded in this settlement called City of Black Rock. They started allowing the first vehicle departures on Monday, but the organization recommends waiting another day to avoid traffic jams.
Miguel Angel MartinThe director of the company from Alicante, who has attended this festival twice, came this year with his son and another friend, at the invitation of the organization to present a new Carros de Foc show next year. Alicantinos they arrived six days ago They were supposed to start the Black Rock community and their way back this Monday, as heavy rain early Saturday through Sunday reportedly blocked attendees.
“Rain is not a bad thing, but in this case it rained a lot, not a torrential downpour but for a long timeThis lake, which was a dry lake filled with water in winter, is now authentic Blurry, The founder of Carros de Foc added, “With mud that clings to everything, and a lot of people put plastic in their boots because it’s too heavy.” “It is very difficult to get out of here because the vehicles are skidding. Via the radio station, the festival warns that no one should leave, stay in place, store the food and dose the food brought in, and warn that they will extend the time until they get us out. the sun rises and it starts to dry. It may dry out in a day, but the sun has to come out and it’s not raining anymore.”
The Alicante trio came to Burning Man from the San Francisco airport this year, renting a minibus and purchasing a minibus in the city of Reno. food, water, furniture (bike, table, chair, sleeping bag) and tent “You’re pretty uncomfortable with the mud to get in and out, but you have to surrender yourself. It will pass.”
“The main concern here is whether winter comes early, the rains continue. and there isn’t enough time for the ground to dry out to evacuate a city of nearly 70,000 people. This is a problem because evacuate it’s too complicated, they call it “Exit” When the burning is over and everyone is gone,” explained Miguel Ángel Martín, before the first vehicles were allowed to exit yesterday.
“Until yesterday, we calculated the food, we are rationing it. We ate a little less, but we got a lot. AND It’s very supportive and we didn’t go on an adventure alone. we are in camp (camp), the location of a central tent they cook and share everything. So we don’t have a food problem right now. Yes, we had brought plenty of water for our arrival in the desert.But this is the least we consume because the weather is not good, you are not dehydrated or drinking all the time.”
Martin, i am in love with this festivalStating that those who attended Burning Man accepted the situation without any problems due to the prevailing solidarity, he said, “This ensures that everyone shares everything and that no one gets punished.” “People welcome it, as if it were part of the Incineration. At night, party-like areas open up and there are people going out for a drink or having fun in the mud. The problem is you can’t do that if you have an emergency or need to get out right away.”
