Mona DIE! DIE! DIE! is rolling into Burning Man 2025, bringing whimsical wonder and a pinch of chaos! Marking the third chapter in the Mona saga after 2023's pink Mona Bunny and 2024's Mona Mushroom, this year's 27-foot wooden sculpture of a dice boldly steps onto the tightrope between destiny and random chance, and explores the big, mysterious question: what does tomorrow hold? A meditation on death, the adventure will culminate in the Mona Funeral March featuring poetry and eulogies, while enchanting projector lights transform the giant die into Mona's fantastical visions. As grand finale, the giant wooden die will be ceremoniously cast and burned simultaneously, symbolizing our collective surrender to uncertainty and life's impermanence.
