AV in a former prison: producing at the Bijlmerbajes
Few Amsterdam venues photograph like the former Bijlmerbajes. Concrete, height, history event concepts love it. Technically, a decommissioned prison is exactly as unconventional as it sounds, and that's where experience on site pays off.
What we deliver at Bijlmerbajes, Amsterdam
Production execution within larger events audio, lighting and video packages engineered for raw industrial spaces: long cable runs, improvised rigging solutions, acoustics that need taming rather than trusting.
Good to know as an international organizer
in unconventional venues, the site survey is the production plan. Power, climate, floor load and access determine your design more than any moodboard. We survey first, promise second and we're comfortable working to another producer's master plan, which is how most events on a site like this come together.
