The first stop of our trip was the Serendubity Festival just north of Berlin. The four of us decided to help out with building the festival site and offering our help whereever it was needed. In return, we were granted free access to the festival. Upon arrival, we were overwhelmed by the location and the people who are part of this terrific project.
The location is a former Soviet Union airfield which now functions as a museum. All kinds of helicopters and planes are part of the museum; these were integrated nicely into the festival.
Helping to build the festival can rather be considered as fun than work. Our tasks ranged from sewing, decorating, collecting fire wood, or helping out in the kitchen. There was a great group spirit and everyone anticipated that they were part of something big.
Since I love carpentry, I commited myself to building a platform to cover some metal wiring sticking out of the earth. I designed the platform to function as a seating area next to the food booths. You can see it in action here:
The festival itself was a huge success. Music-wise everything was on the dub/reggae/roots/jungle side of things. The DJs kept the crowd moving and the food and drinking booths offered delicious possibilities to recover from hours-long dancing.
Beside the possibilities to dance your ass off on one of the outside or bunker stages, there was a huge, nicely decorated chill-out area to relax.
All of us are more than thankful for the possibility to be part of this experience. We met some of the most inspiring people on this festival and had loads of fun there. Thank you guys for making this possible and see you on the Serendubity 2016!
