February 24th, 2009Rave Nature
December 12th, 2008Rave Nature by Maarten Vanden Eynde.
Rave Nature was build for the Festival Cement (=concrete), a cultural event that takes place every year in Maastricht. We developed a stage in the ‘Enci-forrest’ near the marl quarry of the Factory Enci. They produce concrete and are the main sponsor of the “Cement Festival”. Their 20 years lasting digging contract causes a lot of problems for the natural environment. The stage could only stay during the Festival. At night the public came by bus and was confronted with a disco lightshow and the pounding rave-song “Move your ass” by Scooter.
