What happens
The Happening, step by step.
The reception brings together hip-hop singers, BMX and skate athletes, graffiti artists, roller skaters and breakdancers. The central Happening tightens the focus to a high-energy performance by up to ten breakdancers, bringing the rhythm of the streets to life. A Happening that highlights one of Medellín's most powerful chapters: its urban culture and its role in transforming spaces once marked by violence and inequality.
We adapt Urban Artists Show for each program — choreography, venue, scale and sequence. The in-house studio plans and produces it so the WOW factor lands inside an incentive travel or MICE night, not as a rented add-on.

Why this delivers the WOW factor
The WOW factor, designed for that night.
In incentive travel and corporate retreats, the WOW factor is usually a performance, a surprise entrance or a celebration. We plan that moment as part of the program — venue, timing and the people in the room.
At VAOVA, that moment is never left to chance. We design it, rehearse it, and stage it through our in-house studio — and we call it a Happening. Urban Artists Show is one of the 9 signature Happenings in our catalog — every one of them a self-contained WOW factor experience, ready to be re-staged for your group in Medellín.
A note on craft
“What the industry calls the WOW factor, we call a Happening. Same emotion. Different discipline.”
