FRACTAL DOONA: A Sea of Fractals 🏴‍☠️

This is not just a themed party. It's a drifting signal from the Doonaverse.

⚓🏴‍☠️ WELCOME ABOARD 🏴‍☠️⚓️ Forget everything you know about pirate events. For one night only, Fractal Doona transforms Trainscendence into a Sea of Fractals: an uncharted world of bands, live electronic music, DJs, open jams, live art and unexpected discoveries. Every room is a new destination. Every wrong turn is the right one. Inspired by the spirit of pirates as wanderers, collectors of stories and cultural exchange, our crew brings together artists from different backgrounds, sounds and scenes. Let curiosity be your own compass. Explore the unknown and discover what’s waiting beyond the next door. Come dressed for the voyage - pirates, captains, sirens, sea creatures or your own strange interpretation of the theme. The more creative, the better. Lose yourself across 4 stages. Find your people. Leave with a tale worth telling and bare in mind that the real treasure was never the gold. September 26 (Saturday) 📍 Trainscendence, Collingwood From 7 PM to late Doors at 6 PM No passengers.
