I heard about this on NPR and sounds like it might be a fun romp. here are the details from the website (http://www.ghostlightgypsies.com/)

"THIS IS A TRANSMUTATION ZONE!"

Ghostlight Gypsies proudly presents STRANGE WEATHER, A Rock Concert and Shadow-Play event featuring "How to Survive the Apocalypse: A Burning Opera by Mark Nichols and Erik Davis.

Immerse yourself in this epic rock tale of evolution and transformation through our story of 'the festival in the desert' known by some as the "Burn". Watch the story unfold around you through the magic of our giant cinematic shadow experience of puppets and dancers, see performing live on stage our jamming 10-piece rock band and amazing vocalists, and, if you chose, become part of the event, Participate! (its radical self reliance!). Each night we will bring you surprise guests with stories of adventure, and performers and artists whose talents span the spectrum of creativity. And as the night comes to a close the DJ will spin us into the final hours of decompression, dancing and interaction.
