Forest Glint
The scenography for the Forest Rave stage at Draaimolen Festival is about a sense of belonging. Hidden deep in the forest, dancing in between the trees, blurring the lines between the natural and the surreal.
Pink, translucent fabric surrounded the dancefloor, moving gently to the rhythm of the wind. At night, the fabric transformed into a luminous boundary, catching the light. Beyond this, lights illuminated the forest, extending the space into an endless expanse and playing with depth of field.
A wall of sound, featuring 48 subwoofers, provided an immersive sonic foundation that resonated through the forest, merging with the natural surroundings. Lasers high in the trees cast beams that danced across the leaves. The light refracted off the foliage, mimicking the glint of fireflies.
This scenography celebrates the interplay of sound, light, and nature. It transformed the forest into a dreamlike landscape, leaving only a collective sense of connection and ecstasy.
