2013

Each year, Motel Mozaïque offers a mix of pop, dance and alternative music alongside theatre and visual arts. Motel Mozaïque kicks off at 4pm on Friday 5th April and will finish in the early hours of Sunday 7th April, two evenings plus an extended day programme.

The heart of the festival is Schouwburgplein which is turned into a small, intimate square (Plaza Mozaïque) where the festival programme, refreshments and architecture come together. Alongside this, the festival takes places within several indoor locations in the centre of Rotterdam creating an ongoing festival.

The festival plays host to 3,500 attendees, and hosts approximately 80 acts, performers and artists at 6 venues in the city centre of Rotterdam.

The 'motel'

Festival goers are also given the opportunity to take part in Motel Mozaïque's Sleeping Project which sees remarkable locations within the city converted into a real motel, where guests can enjoy a night's rest plus breakfast. Past locations include a church, tree huts, shop windows, a construction site and for last year, the roof of a national monument. Artist collectives handle breakfast - last year 200 people had a huge breakfast in the middle of Rotterdam's largest shopping street – and appropriate entertainment: a lullaby to send you to sleep or a wake-up call from people in candyfloss balls, ready for you to take a bite from.

This year's Sleeping Project takes place at Rotterdam's concert hall de Doelen for located in the Schouwburgplein – the heart of the festival – guests will be staying on the first floor. Tickets for 2013's Sleeping Project are available to purchase separately from your festival ticket as numbers are strictly limited.
