Knots Club is our take on a night out.
A space where rope, music, and community come together in a relaxed and social atmosphere.
We begin with a live performance where Marcos ties Papi, accompanied by Andrés Soria performing live.
An opening moment that sets the tone for the evening.
After the performance, the room opens into a rope jam.
Andrés moves into a DJ set, creating a continuous flow of ambient sound throughout the night.
Guests are welcome to tie, dance, observe, and connect.
Come with friends or come alone, the space is open to meet, share, and explore.
Andrés Soria (he/him)
Coming from Galicia, Spain, and based in Amsterdam since 2024, Andrés Soria brings his singular approach to storytelling through sound.
Whether in his own productions or as a selector, Andrés uses detailed sound design and a progression rooted in introspection to bring to life a world of deep forests and raging oceans, guiding the listener through the landscape. World-building based on hypnosis, psychoactive textures, and the ever-lasting quest for hope that is already echoing through the Amsterdam underground.
Marcos Mangani (he/him)
Marcos studied visual arts in Argentina for 5 years. Travelling and developing his artwork with a strong focus in installations that talked about time and space, Marcos created throughout the years some solid career. 10 years ago, he moved to Berlin and continued developing his artworks, but also opened new doors to new media and ways to relate with people. As an invisible conceptual thread, he has been talking about impermanence with different mediums and materials.
7 years ago, he found rope bondage as a new technique to continue evolving his practice. He developed his own conscious and quiet approach and characteristic face bondage. Creating safe spaces for people to trust and surrender, he opens the doors for people to explore their bodies in a different way. Exploring emotions and intentions in rope is one of his most interests.
He taught in different queer spaces Tension (Montreal) Temple (New York) and Iridescent Studio (Amsterdam) Anatomie (London)At the moment Marcos offers regular classes and private sessions at his studio KOR Berlin.

Important!
This rope evening is open to everyone. All identities, backgrounds, and experience levels are welcome. As a queer, BIPOC-led studio, we encourage you to engage with others respectfully and with care, helping to create a space where freedom of expression and playful rope exploration can thrive.
Take a moment to check in with yourself and your partners. Notice your physical boundaries, your emotional state, and the kind of connection you’re open to sharing that evening. Rope interactions are a shared experience, with responsibility for safety and enjoyment held equally by both people. Clear communication, mutual care, and active consent make the experience meaningful and safe for everyone involved.
You’re encouraged to move at your own pace, speak your boundaries, and engage in ways that feel grounded and safe. We ask that you only use techniques you feel confident in and approach each interaction with trust and respect.
Please make sure to arrive on time, as entry won’t be possible during the performance, if you are late you wil have to wait until the end to join.
