Come along for a night swim and dive into the underbelly of the club! Drown in drinking organs. Become weightless. Seduce a giggling gabber nymph. Drown into oblivion. Cry over missing butt plugs. Whip the whip on Bacchus' buttocks. Feel the moon in your throat and the hunger in the club. Laugh with the lost souls on dry land. Knock out the shame. Slow with the whore of Babylon. Fumble with crazy aquatic creatures. Dance the polonaise with the twelve apostles. Get rituals out of your ass and shots out of your ears. And marinate yourself in pre-cum.
With a shared love for the Dionysian, nightlife, glitter and spectacle, Jarne and Lieselot made 'Night swimming' together. A party disguised as a show. Or a performance disguised as a party.
