Manifest
Gula Gula is a brand new holistic festival, formed as an experiment to rethink the standard festival framework. A melting pot for music, dance, performance & art encircled by community & driven by voluntary energy.
We’re building a soft, warm nest where light, scenography, music & sound art collide to create a multi-sensory experience.
On Saturday afternoon our festival opens with a communal lunch. Later we are guided & united through performance, dance & music, reaching a climax deep in the night.
Our first indoor stage provides an intimate stage for live music & evolves into a dancefloor experience connecting artist & dancer in the now.
The second indoor stage centers around Soundsystem culture, driven by bass, breaks & rooted in dub experiments. Flowing together through sounds & sonics.
Our courtyard will be the beating heart of our festival & a refuge for our community. A place where experimentation & curiosity are encouraged. Open minds colliding.
On Sunday we coast through the day accompanied by workshops, talks, ambient dj sets & soothing live acts. We’re also making space for our youngest fellows to join in on the fun with kid sized programming & activities. In the evening we reunite again around the dinner table to feed our minds & bellies, reminiscing about shared experiences...
Gula Gula is a 100% volunteer run, DIY festival that emerged from the need to create a new accessible festival, financially , socially & culturally , from the underbelly of Brussels, Vilvoorde & its surroundings.
Hope to meet you there!
