The Kuker

Meet the KUKER mutant vehicle: an extravagant mobile stage that takes the form of a massive, horned mask. This wild creation is actually a modern, street-ready shout-out to the ancient and awesome Bulgarian tradition of Kukeri, where people don incredible masks and costumes for ritual dances.

No ordinary stage, this intricate design breathes life into performances, marrying deeply expressive folk symbols and ancient motifs with state-of-the-art sound, blinding lights, dramatic flames, and immersive atmospheric effects—the perfect canvas for any artist.

It was inspired by and built for That Thing In The Desert.
