Bâtard Festival brings together a bewildering mix of theatre, dance, performance, film, plus a discursive program and a publication. It is a platform for non-established artists, thinkers, and writers. During this year’s edition, Bâtard culminates in a move out of the theatre and into the warehouse spaces of Decoratelier. Most artistic works will be presented at Beursschouwburg, yet on the last day of the festival we shift the architectural surrounding, opening up to the margin.

Get involved with the programme and offer yourself DOUBLE BILL tickets (shows at 19h & 20h30 or at 20h30 & 22h).
