Europeans having party
The legendary so called "Auditorum party", with more than 2000 visitors, is the largest student party in Eindhoven of the Netherlands. It takes place once every two years during the European Week Eindhoven (EWE), the biggest European student event of its kind, organised biennially by students of the Technische Universiteit Eindhoven (TU/e) with about 450 students from all over Europe gathered together in a challenging and eventful week of conferences, interactive discussion workshops and cultural activities.
This year the theme of the "Auditorium party" (EWE 2005) was "Colours of the music" with the idea of 6 "coloured" areas held in the very heart of the university, inside the main building of the Auditorium. Green area, the one of the photo, was meant to be the Main Stage, surely the meeting point of the party, with DJ Mason using a violin during his DJ set and Benny Rodrigues together with Noramn Soares doing a closing drum act.
All around one could visit peripherically - and on second floor - the smaller rooms of Red area (Live music - student bands: Shake and PromisQuity), Gold area ("urban" area, mixture of Hip-hop, Reaggae, R&B), Yellow area (Beach house: funky & groovy), Pink area (Palace of Luv), Blue area (Silent Disco: everyone wears headphones and swings on the 80's music).

No doubt - for everyone that had been there - this party was a great experience of tasting not only the dutch way of having parties but also the opportunity to mingle with students of all around Europe in a unique way of an all-cultures-blended night life that usually cannot get held in one and only place and time...
