ROBODOCK held, what is very likely, its last event: the FENIX. It was a festival of music, sculpture performance, pyrotechnics, and, to a lesser extent, debauchery. Though the setting was smaller than in previous years, the mechanical type-of fairyland, steeped in archaic ritual, still provided a magical transportation to another time and space. Well, at least I forgot that I was in Amsterdam North for a little time. The finale was reached in an episode entitled: "the Story of the FeniX"
..."The Pyrophonic Ensemble Berlin meets les resonateurs de La machine, meets la Mécanique Vivante meets Dutch Tetzepi meets actors in a apotheosis of flame throwers, fire organs, sirens, blowers and more."
One standing far from the blasts could easily feel the heat. A side note, on the day following the festival, while my housemate was listening to Jesus Christ Superstar, I could not help but notice the similarities (in-part) between the music at the festival. Anyhow, it was a spectacular event.
