Follow Sefa’s musical journey towards his biggest show to date: Defqon.1 2022.
In this documentary “Sefa: The Road To Defqon.1” we follow Sefa up close from his first appearance at Defqon in 2017 at 16 years old, his legendary ‘Black stage’ performance in 2018 where the area was completely overrun by fans, his 2019 closing of the main stage and finally this year's already legendary performance during the ‘Opening Ceremony’ of the RED stage in which he turned the hard dance scene upside down with the addition of live strings, a drummer, a guitarist, a 45 piece choir and himself - not behind the DJ booth, but behind his piano and as a conductor of his own show: “This Is Sefa”.
We hear the testimonies of his fans, collaborateurs, partners and friends. Depicted by cameraman and director of this documentary Auke Brinkman who followed Sefa around with his camera since the early days, capturing every aspect of his life.
