PYRONAUTS are the international all-star, super-hero troupe that performs in Burning Man's Fire Conclave around the Man just prior to ignition. Pyronauts were founded by Vatra in 2005 and honored with the prime position on the 6:00 side of the Man in '05, '06, '07, and the upcoming 2008 Fire Conclave.
There are 77 Pyronauts originating from 19 U.S. states and 23 countries worldwide and every Pyronaut is at the top of their art form. Some Pyronauts perform with Cirque du Soleil and others have won the HomeOfPoi.com "Circles of Light" international video competition. Pyronauts also feature one of the world's top Sword Swallowers and top Hula Hoopers who hold 2 world records each!
The Pyronauts Fire Conclave performance will take place at the 6:01 position in the Great Circle on Saturday night. If you're walking up the promenade from Center Camp towards the Man, we'll be immediately to the left of where the promenade enters the Circle at the 6:00 spot. This is where the largest crowd and most of the media congregates, so it's recommended to get their early to ensure a good view. There's an unbelievably high level of energy in this part of the Circle, so the experience is definitely well worth the extra effort to get up close.
In addition to our Fire Conclave performance, Pyronauts will also conduct two additional performances on the Playa with our amazing new Drum Troupe! Both performances will take place at PYRONAUTS CAMP on the corner of 4:00 & Allanté, 200 feet from the Esplanade and adjacent to Entheon Village. Our 1st performance will be Wednesday night at 9:00pm and our 2nd performance will be Thursday night at 9:00pm. Our Playa performances have traditionally erupted into some of the most epic, marathon fire jams of all time so come on by and enjoy the spectacle or spin with us if you're feeling up for it!
I'm really looking forward to my 14th Burning Man in a row... and I hope to cross orbits with you somewhere on the Playa's horizon :^)
burn bright,
love, laughter & light...
