With great pride our most complex item has spread his wings and now it’s time to fly! Master artist / engineer Matthias Vijverman (@MecaniqueFantastique) has been working on these details for over a decade, artist Ronald Duikersloot joint forces 3 yrs ago and now is the time! This half machine half bird is based on the myth of the Garuda, vessel of Vishnu in the ancient tradition of the Hindu. This hydraulic piece of machinery can unfold up to 6 meter high and when spread his wings up to 15 meter wide and it spits fire, of course.

What’s next!
1) You can book The Garuda as an interaction pop-up show with live music by the charismatic Remco Visker(!) playing industrial tunes to wake the Garuda up loop station’ing it into industrial Rock when unfolding his wings over the crowd. This all as a mini pop-up party of 30 minutes spread several times over the day/ night.

2) Or book it as an art piece where we’ll make the Garuda respond to your movement… Be wary cuz when you wake him up, it will come to live and he has a fire temper…
