Every year, during the first days of September in the Black Rock Desert, Nevada (United States) is developed for 7 days, one of the most crazy and original festivals of music and art in the world, the Burning Man festival, which in Spanish means “ardent man”, which involves more than 50,000 people.
The name derives from the ritual with which this celebration ends, which consists of building each year a huge wooden sculpture in the form of a man, which is burned the night before the end, on Saturday. On Sunday, a temple built in wood is set on fire.
The burning of the “man” is a spectacular celebration with fireworks and explosions. Instead, the burning of the temple is done in total silence, as it is a ritual dedicated to the deceased. Those who participate in the festival during the previous days can leave photos, letters or whatever they want to remind them of that person.
