@olicarlon82 Its funny you mention them having little understanding about what they are doing, yet if you knew anything about Kecak, you would know that it is a form of music-drama, and is entirely secular. In fact, Kecak performers in Bali often encourage tourists and onlookers to join in. Having an understanding of the origin is irrelevant; as long as the ultimate goal of the exercise is reached.

@fmraaah No, you aren't.
You want to know what this really is? A bunch of white fairy well-educated 20 and 30-something attention whores (most of whom come from middle / upper-middle class backgrounds, most of whom work in the high tech or biotech industries and most of whom are higher than a kite) running around naked in the Nevada Great Basin, trying desperately in vain to be hipper than hip. . . . "Oh, look at me. . I am so fucking cool being here at Burning Man. . . this is were it's at"
-
When I watch this, I can't help but think of what comedian Steve Harvey once said: . . . "White people. . . . always running to jump on some bullshit." BTW- I'm glad the famous Balinese dancer, i Mario, never lived to see this shit.

Is the leader Paradox? He's an amazing performer!

The only name I know for him is "Grady". It could be that he calls himself "Paradox" at Burning Man.
