WINGS OF CHAINS 2.0

In the organizer's words:

13.09.2025 - MUPA ESSEN
"Man is born free, but everywhere he lies in chains." - Jean-Jacques Rousseau

Wings of Chains unites the incompatible - and gives your chains the wings of night.
Immerse yourself in a dark, dazzling world of sound, body and ecstasy.

Guided by driving techno, permeated by hypnotic sounds - one floor, one feeling, one night.
one floor, one feeling, one night.
Let yourself be provoked - or become a provocation yourself.
Extravagantly dressed messengers of the night, shrouded in a breath of nothingness, shimmer through the fog and whisk you away to a world beyond everyday life.

We call forth the dark creatures within you - eager, ecstatic, free.
Wings of Chains stands for dark elegance with a pinch of glitter, for excess with attitude and style.
For people who don't hide - but show themselves.

LOCATION: MUPA ESSEN

Right in the heart of the city - and yet hidden.
An industrial space, raw, clear, intense.
Perfectly connected - but far away from the ordinary.
- Powerful installation
- Visual staging
- Space for dance, style & scene feeling

DRESSCODE

Extravagant. Kinky. Classy.

Target group

WHO LOVES OUR NIGHT

Wings of Chains attracts people who can't be pigeonholed - but who know who they are.
We appeal to those who blossom at night, throw themselves into the details, live in looks, breathe in bass.
Whether kinky, queer, straight, fetish, fashion, artist or simply curious - it's not the label that counts for us, but the energy.

You feel comfortable when the dress code is not a constraint, but an invitation to transform.
You want to party, but not arbitrarily.
You are looking for closeness, but not a stage for egos.

Wings of Chains is for you if you feel more beautiful in the dark than in the light.

Dress code

DRESS TO EXPRESS - NOT TO IMPRESS

Wings of Chains is not a costume contest - it's a stage for attitude, style and self-expression.
We celebrate the extraordinary, the dark, the shiny.
Vinyl, latex, leather, mesh, high fashion or fetish fusion - anything that pushes boundaries and catches the eye is allowed.

No jeans. No sneakers. No streetwear.
We want visions, not excuses.

Style-Inspo?
- Avant-garde & fetish wear
- Bondage elements, harnesses, corsages
- Body accessories, cut-outs, masks
- Artful looks from the darkness
- Edgy, extravagant & empowering

For those who are unsure:
Better too much than too little.
We check at the entrance - and we mean it.

NO EFFORT - NO ENTRY.
We are the night. Show us who you are.

Of course, you'll get your entry fee refunded on the spot if your outfit doesn't fit!
