Uncaged was the first outdoor edition of Peacock Garden Festival. At the end of summer, when the water is warm and bodies are hot, this two day sex-positive event took place. Visitors embarked on a warm journey through various workshops and DJ sets, somewhere in a Hintergarten in Amsterdam-West…

“Love is not a colourful cage

Which traps the right of desire

But really

Love is a warm nest

Lovingly built to lift up and fly higher.”

As Head Creative Production I created the overall look and feel of the festival, with a specific focus on designing and building the new main stage: the Birds Nest. With terracotta colours and hints of green and blue, the Birds nest got a naturalistic feel. Equipped with a Balinese garden, (golden) shower, hot tub and two big cages on the dance floor, visitors got all they need to experience a hot summer festival. During the build-up and build-down I was responsible for the decor team, leading both builders and volunteers to create this paradise garden.
