The Zoo Project returns to the old abandoned Zoo at Benimussa Park for a series of 18 events this summer from 6th June to 26th September. Saturdays mean dancing under the sunshine and stars across four separate open-air arenas of music and performance in one of the few remaining places in Ibiza where you can truly get down with nature, The Zoo Project. A new interactive performance team, massage, meditation, healing, swimming pool, fashion, market stalls, delicious food, art installations, tasty cocktails and a selection of the brightest up-and-coming DJs alongside some of electronic music’s true pioneers: more than just a party . . . get ready for another dimension!
Nestled in the forest hills of Ibiza, The Zoo Project stays true to the old-school island tradition of bringing together like-minded souls to dance outdoors in the most blissful surroundings on the island. This year the Zoo goes ‘back to nature’ with a new look for 2015, using reclaimed materials and vintage furniture to renovate all four open-air arenas.
The iconic red steps of the Seal Pit are ready for another season of intense dance-floor action, the Treehouse stage has been redesigned and extended in preparation for some sumptuous sunset sessions, the Mandala Garden is open for another summer of live performance and healing vibrations, while over in the Living Room is a more intimate gathering for fans of disco or eclectic sounds.
The Zoo swimming pool will be open throughout the day so come early and bring your bathers. Market stalls, a variety of gourmet food offerings and classy cocktails in the Wunderbar and VIP Potting Shed all add to the carnivalesque festival at The Zoo Project each and every Saturday.
Noah’s Ark, the Zoo on the waves sets sail on a magical journey around the legendary island of Es Vedra before each event. The perfect start to a Zoo experience, the official Zoo Project Boat Party brings the rave to the high seas with a weekly selection of special guests alongside Zoo artists. Food, drink, dancing and a dip in the ocean before heading straight to the Zoo Project . . all aboard!
The Mandala Garden, the Zoo’s very own holistic centre, provides live ethnic music, meditation, art therapy, healing vibrations, visual performance and lots of love for lost ravers in the most distinctive chill-out area in Ibiza. A varied program of artists and healers: from drum circles and guided meditation to tarot reading and massage, all centred around the hand-painted mandala at the heart of the space.
Of course Zoo wouldn’t be Zoo without a show! And this summer’s new performance team arrive with a bag full of tricks to entertain, delight and confuse. Look out for the Seal Pit’s Circus Transformation, try to spot the Pop Up Mad Hatter’s Tea Party and see if you can’t get yourself in the weekly Zoo Movie!
A day-long celebration under the sunshine and stars, The Zoo Project promises so much more than a party and delivers a weekly festival of festivities for an imaginative crowd, with the best underground line-ups in Ibiza. There is no Zoo without You! The season starts here… For tickets click here.
