In the midst of a pandemic we had the opportunity to share our vision with the event- and entertainment industry. Instead of being ruled by fear and uncertainty, we invited our guests to our playground filled with hope, creativity and inspiration.

What if we could co-create and participate in a unique environment, where possibilities take the lead and creativity is a natural generator for a safe and fascinating live show? With this idea in the back of our minds, we organized a playground in Sugar City Amsterdam. Together with our sistercompany The Fireflies we wanted to send out a message of positivity and hope during uncertain times.

Co-creating positivity

Together with and made for the event industry.

Combining fascinating speakers with complete new worlds every time you enter a new room and a big show moment filled with symbolism – it became a unique experience. The zeitgeist at that moment was one of fear, uncertainty and little hope. We created a show moment that represented these emotions of feeling stuck, but also the positivity of overcoming it with a different mindset.

Feelings of being stuck were visualized by ropes, choreography and costumes. The costumes consisted of stylish straight jackets, gas masks and ropes.

“Playing with the shadows and different heights, thereby ensuring the safest environment possible - we were excited to make this happen with our partners. By thinking outside the box, opportunities were laid out before us.
Koen Colmbijn — Production Manager
