DID YOU THINK I’D CRUMBLE?
Bâtard x DAKH: Bâtard Festival closing party // ticket
Following the seasonal transitions, here comes the second episode of Bâtard 2022. Don’t worry dear bastards like any good TV show we’re not leaving without a brain-bending twist.
We hope you enjoyed the trip and if you arrived so far, that you’re ready to take off the accumulated stress, frustrations, self-esteem ditka’s and ready to escape the pretty horror postmodern burlesque fiction reality show we might live in.
Did you think I’d crumble?
Ritual 1. Invoking the goddess Gloria and her empowering anthem: yes we’ve crumbled, crumble and may probably in the future and so WHAT?
Ritual 2. You are not a plat de resistance – you’re the entire fucking cake baby. You better believe in collective healing because this is the survival strategy Bâtard might be able to offer.
Last but never least: big up to the Timiss fam (hosting us in DAKH) and Toestand for opening their doors and accompanying us to think how we can collaborate to implement tools for a safer nightlife in Brussels.
That being said, remind that being careful with individual boundaries and spaces is part of a collective thinking. So if you’re here to kill our vibe or take things that were not offered, stay home.
Unrelated but we take this over the top textopportunity to throw a huge “MERCI” to Andrea Zavala Folache that manifested, embodied and shaped these two parts of the 2022 edition: a blooming April (First I was afraid, I was petrified) and a deep, cosy and scary November-tunnel (And so you’re back).
Thank you for the countless hours of work, the sleepless nights and the precious sense of listening, translating and re-inventing Bâtard’s identity.
