Man, burning: Paul Addis' one-man show

Paul Addis, who was busted two years ago for burning "the man" ahead of schedule at Burning Man, is set to open a new one-man show, Dystopian Veneer, in San Francisco on April 30. What are some of the highlights?

• He congratulates himself for being such a boundary-pushing performance artist

• Its postmodernity is off the charts

• He lights somebody else's theater on fire

• Blah blah blah ... he consciously crashes a system to promote effective reconstruction ... blah blah blah

• A touching tribute to a day at the beach with his father

• San Francisco's emergency responders get tied up all night at massive cost

• Everybody pays attention to him for hours

• Blah blah blah ... typical lines separating stage performance from real life are disregarded ... blah blah blah

• Halfway through, he begins to protest against his own show, claiming that it has become "calcified" and coddles the audience too much

• Constant smug reminders that he burned "the man" and you didn't

• The point at the show in which even the most open-minded audience members turn to each other and say, "He's crazy!"
