Psychedelic Circus Festival
Another dimension of optics and acoustics
Multicoloured and wondrous characters,
arriving in vehicles and caravans
just as multicoloured and wondrous
as themselves. Daring tricks and wild
capers, arising from a sea of light and
colours, accompanied by euphoric,
sometimes pretty freakish music…
The magical world of the circus cast
its spell over us from when we were
children. Nothing has changed since
then despite the fact that most of us
today prefer an adult version of this
multicoloured spectacle! In this respect,
this year’s Psychedelic Circus
presents two spectacular innovations
from the field of extraordinary perceptions.
Two exciting additions, the
likes of which have never been seen
or heard before on a festival in Northern
Europe!
Firstly, there is decoration that will
amaze: Artist Anna “The Brain” creates
fluorescent panoramas around the main
floor as well as within the circus tent,
which initially will appear as well-done,
partly abstract, partly realistic paintings.
However, when viewed through some
rather inconspicuous, slightly milky
appearing glasses (distributed to the
visitors upon entry), a spectacular sensual
experience will unfold: The blankets,
which at first appeared flat, suddenly
develop an astonishing depth!
Particular elements really appear to
jump towards the observer while others
shift far into the background. Moving
along this optical scenery provokes the
fascinating illusion of seemingly tangible,
three-dimensional objects. In the
circus tent there will also be some sculptures
whose spatial character is intensified
by this special 3D effect.
“The Brain” is supported by Pat & Patterchen,
a decoration team whose style
matches closely with her own work.
Without forgetting the video projections
on the main stage, in the circus tent and
in the Chill Out - which are designed for
creating a unique rapture of the deep.
Already well known from his appearances
in the Psychedelic Circus is decoration
artist Buju, who will again perform
a breathtaking high wire act
with his airy objects and paintings.
The second spectacular news is:
Funktion One at the dance floors.
There is lot of dubious hype going on
about many things today but in the
case of these sound systems, excited
euphoria is really justified. Listening to
music on a Funktion One is a one-ofa-kind
sensual experience. For anyone
who has experienced the Funktion One
setup at Boom festival for instance, will
know the reason: The sound appears
three-dimensional and tangible like an
object and pours over the floor like a
crystal clear liquid. Despite this “physical”
impact, the music is never obtrusive,
just the opposite: You can talk to
each other even in the middle of the
dance floor, while having the feeling of
a mighty pressure of sound at the same
time. The lineup providing the music
for these magic sound systems can be
described as spectacular as well, always
keeping a psychedelic focus while presenting
a maximum variety.
