Obsession Bizarr - The WGT Fetish & SM Party

ADMISSION ONLY FOR THOSE OVER THE AGE OF 18!
THIS EVENT HAS A STRICT DRESS CODE!

The night of dark fantasies returns: At the Wave-Gotik-Treffen, the magnificent Volkspalast in Leipzig will once again transform into the realm of "Obsession Bizarre." Immerse yourself in a world of sensuality and extravagance, where mistresses, slaves, ladies-in-waiting, and princesses indulge their deepest passions. A festive playground of elegance, play, and seductive freedom awaits you in the imposing domed hall. Whether in the stylish ballroom or the private playrooms, this night promises unforgettable experiences and intense encounters for all those seeking something extraordinary.

DRESS CODE: Welcome to a night of expression, aesthetics, and freedom. Our dress code is an integral part of the experience and contributes to the unique atmosphere. Looks with character are desired, for example: leather, latex, patent leather and PVC, sexy lingerie, elegant corsets, harnesses, or artistic nudity (stylishly staged), uniforms and themed outfits (e.g., military, maid, business, fantasy), club-wear with a distinctly sensual or extravagant character, accessories such as masks, chokers, gloves and ultra high heels.
