The Secret Places Festival takes place once a year, at an unexpected or forgotten location, a location normally not accessible for the audience, a location normally not used for cultural purposes. The Secret Places Festival is created and designed by Nightscapes Productions and realized in co-operation with Stichting Nieuwe Richting on and in harmony with the festival location in question.

 

 

 Whereas other festivals only focus on the music, the Secret Places Festival emphasizes on an interdisciplinary cross-over experience with a sniff of Nightscapes magic.

 

Designed to be a platform for all kind of various artists, initiatives, companies, communities and organizations the Secret Places Festival unifies bands and singer-songwriters, vj’s, performances, poetry, dj’s, theatre, (visual) art, food, drinks and dance into one unique festival experience…

 

The Secret Places Festival reveals little raw but individual beauties, whilst enhancing the

magic of our daily lives.

 

Following the motto “beauty lies within”, Nightscapes Productions creates and designs during the Secret Places Festival “something out of nothing” with sustainable and recycled materials, through an artistic, sustainable concept. “Your trash is our construction material”… This approach results in sustainable but creative festival-stages and constructions being art of their own, all designed and build by Nightscapes Productions and their volunteers.

 

 

By enhancing details, making small things big, the Secret Places Festival strives to change the mindset of our society: “Bigger is not necessarily better…” ;“Being different is a gift…”.

 

The Secret Places Festival stresses to individually approach its audience, aiming to be a counterbalance to the mass-consummation of our days.

 

In order to survive we need to create new ways and approaches, making sustainable out-of-the-box creativity a necessity!

 

 

 

The Secret Places Festival is a first step towards a green, sustainable approach of an entertaining festival. The Secret Places Festival proves that sustainability and a green and biological approach is not only obligatory but can also be pleasant, magical and extremely entertaining.
