One Night of Fire 2007 / Renegade Parade

"It starts with a spark.

Our best moments are ignited by simple ideas. You are invited to be a part of a renegade parade of guerrilla art and performance, spontaneous acts of kindness and indelible moments of beauty. In this era of conflict, One Night of Fire is our indulgence in the best we have left.

One Night of Fire
This Saturday, July 14th, 7:57pm

Details: www.thedanger.com

Fire is our metaphor for the blood and fervor that this city seems to celebrate and choke with every passing moment. Dozens of artists and performers are collaborating to create the experience we love: a free-form carnival of decadence, risk and grandeur.

Expect: crews of drummers + stilt walkers + fire spinners + renegade aerialists + fireworks & rocketships + gifts of liquor + brass march bands + a liberated water-front + the unending spectacle of sparks and flame shining in the faces of you, me and a thousand of our friends.

In an era of darkness, we light our own flame.

The Theme: Fire. Liberation. Paris, July 14th 1789, but this time it's the battle for Brooklyn.

Dress: In white (the more costumed the better, you are the Angels that keep this city alive and untamed.)

Bring: Drums, Parasols, Refreshments (discreetly), Music, Gifts to Share, Friends, Lovers and your Metrocard.

Cost: Absolutely Free.

The Start: We will meet at sunset (7:57pm sharp!) on Saturday July 14th, rain or shine. The location will be posted Friday after 3pm at: www.thedanger.com

The Renegade: The soul of this event is that we don't ask permission to host it. In the past the police have worked with us politely and we have returned the favor by respecting them. Please, watch for yourself and others. Be respectful and don't do anything that you'll regret when you're 50.

On the website we have an amazing new video from last year's Night of Fire. If the video is slow or choppy, try the YouTube version by following the link below. While you're at it add a Digg to help increase the exposure.
