From the comfort of your own home, Bâtard Festival will once again introduce you to emerging artists practicing hybrid art forms.

In anticipation of Lisa Vereertbrugghen’s new dance performance, here’s a little try-it-at-home teaser for you: set aside 15 minutes (as part of your morning routine, sunny weekend, whenever suits you best). Seek out a suitable place and align your chakras to 130 bpm.

We’ll be livestreaming from India the performance “Allegedly” by Mallika Taneja, who will invite her tele-audience to take part in a discussion on sexual violence. All together on the warm, wide web.

They will discuss their herstories, their practices, and how their experiences have been and are shaped by the intersections of their Womanhood and Blackness.
