Who we are
We’re an international collective of creators rooted around Amsterdam, crafting and curating unique artistic affairs Europe.
At The Valparaíso, we build experiences where visitors don’t just enter a space, but dissolve into it, becoming part of the story.
Our festival stages and retreat immersions open their arms to DJs, scenographers, visual artists, performers, and facilitators who feel the call to explore new edges and merge their craft with our atmosphere.
Tell us what you dream of making. Share your wild wishes, your sparks. We’ll co-create with you, and see what kind of magic we can summon together.
Because at The Valparaíso, the atmosphere is created by all of us — a shared flow of energy that shapes every moment.
Experience
ethereal realms
that live in
between dreams
We’re creating mind-altering experiences that capture a space in between time;
small treasures,
recordings of frozen seconds.
Lighting and scenography
Lighting is not just about what you illuminate — it’s about where you choose to leave shadow. We sculpt environments by balancing light and darkness, guiding attention and emotion through space.
Analogue Projections
Using vintage optics, oil wheels, and handmade filters, we craft living lightscapes that move with intention.
Mapping
We use projection mapping to transform objects, walls, and spaces into dynamic visual experiences.
By precisely aligning light with the shapes of your space or object, we bring it to life.
Stages
As the sun sets, downtempo sounds guide your moves. Don’t fear the dark, our smiling performers light the way.
Groovy minimal beats make the night feel like a dream.
Immersive experiences
Our passionate hosts spark your senses, creativity, and playfulness - gently challenging your habits and expectations.
Light sculptures
Programmed, kinetic installations that come alive with light and motion. These sculptures invite playfulness and interaction.
"Valparaíso is an amazing collective, seeking to create suspended in time moments, where freedom of being and joy of creating are sacred. Led by adults that refuse to be something else than children, but for good reasons. ❤"
"The fantasy of the creators that’s been made tangible is the catalyst for a spectacle that sparks excitement and joy. The playful approach and its artistic synergy makes my top-5 festival moments 100% Valparaiso’s. Can’t wait for more!"
