A Taste of That Thing in the Desert
2021-08-22 17:00 - 23:00 | Kensington Cresent, Kensington Crescent NW, Calgary, Alberta, Canada
A Taste of ‘That Thing in the Desert’ is coming to Kensington Crescent this Saturday, August 21st from 5-11pm!
AToTTitD is a free family friendly event that will feature a communal display of arts, science and engineering for kids and grown-ups alike! Inspired by Black Rock City, Alberta Burners will bring a taste of that temporary city, and the context and principles of Burning Man closer to home. Expect to see art displays, fire performances, and dancing to live DJs playing music off the top of Steely T Mutant Vehicle!
With Burning Man’s 10 Principles in mind, specifically that of ‘Gifting’, this event is 100% volunteer driven. Every person involved with this event is gifting their time and talents to share a small taste of what you would find at ‘That Thing in the Desert’!
Another of Burning Man’s 10 Principles that is central to this event is that of “Decommodification”. “In order to preserve the spirit of gifting, this community seeks to create social environments that are unmediated by commercial sponsorships, transactions, or advertising.” At this event you will not find corporate logos, pamphlets, banners, or t-shirts. They collaborate to design an experience as individuals and communities devoid of economic gain. It is very important that as neighbourhood hosts to this event that we respect these governing principles. However, we do hope that everyone benefits from having more people in the area Saturday.
We hope you can join in the festivities the Alberta Regional Burning Man community is bringing to Kensington through lighting, art, and entertainment!

About The Torchettes
Dripping with sensuality, fuzz covered grunge guitar and the infectious familiarity of 60’s rock-soul, the Torchettescombine their angelic and emphatic vocal tones to create a sound somehow ahead of and behind its time. Think Amy Winehouse backed by the Blackhearts, Wanda Jackson fronting Hole; and you’ve still only scratched the surface of what this melodic trio can accomplish. Among the raw energy of their punk rock sensibilities lies a deeper carnal instinct, one matched with a notable understanding of composition, harmonies and delivery.
Fronted by powerhouse vocalist and music history aficionado Deicha Carter, the Torchettes inception was one she had been constructing for years before they hit the stage. Inspired by the swagger of The Supremes and post-grunge, blues and R&B; Carter harnessed the power of three (Sydney Zadravec, Ainsley Christine) and they have constructed a group and sound unlike any other. Forward in lyrical approach, bewitching in their delivery; a performance from the Torchettes can feel like a gathering of the occult. Mystical and hypnotic, and altogether understated in its power, they’ve been quick to rise among the Calgary music scene as a trio unlike any other. Amid the rumbling of their contagious energy and dynamic, The Torchetteshave found an undeniably magical formula of mayhem and melodic poise – one sure to captivate and transfix audiences for years to come.
