2 - 5 November 2016 - Bâtard Festival in Beursschouwburg

Wednesday, October 12, 2016 —  

"Somehow thinking is always ‘to make think’. ‘To make think’, this means opening up a larger space, which is uncertain in its nature and direction. It’s like generating geography without the map, or even cosmography without an atlas." – Jean-Luc Nancy

There are only 3 weeks left before Bâtard Festival takes over the Beursschouwburg for four days. Emerging artists and thinkers bring theatre, film, dance and performance. You get to know them during the artist talks. Food for thought will be served during lectures and at the presentation of the publicationPerforming in the age of performance, or how to do what we do relentlessly? edited by Tom Engels (SARMA). Together with Pianofabriek Kunstenwerkplaats, Bâtard also presents three new productions.

About Beursschouwburg

Beursschouwburg is a multidisciplinary center for arts and reflection, an open meeting place strongly anchored in Brussels’ reality. Here we embrace the local, the global and the glocal. 

Beursschouwburg functions as a platform to present and develop a wide array of art practices and research, as a  support and experimentation network for artists, collectives and thinkers; a hub that questions normativity and welcomes new narratives.

Together with collaborators, we co-create programs that ignite fruitful encounters between different audiences, forms and genres, between art and everyday life, between the emerging and the established, between urgency and joy.
