Once a year on a remote tropical beach side of Bahia state in Brazil, an alternative community creates a liminal state; a so called ‘free society’, or a ‘parallel universe’. Some people would prefer to call it a rave (or in Brazil a ‘haivee‘) festival. Some of the most famous ones are on the beaches of Southern Thailand, in Goa and Karnataka in Southern India, the Boom Festival in Portugal, the Ozora festival in Hungary and, of course, Universo Paralelo in Brazil.
