EDGY 2013 : 20TH ANNIVERSARY
ART / SPORTS / GENDER
Edgy Women celebrates its 20th anniversary with an exciting programme of events in unusual settings. Wrestling meets experimental theatre, hockey rules are re-written and a boxing club hosts a colloquium and a collaborative performance happening. We live in a world that promotes a rhetorical opposition between art (sensitivity/subculture/femininity) and sports (strength/mainstream/masculinity).
Let's see what happens when we mix it up!
ALL NUIT LONG
This year, Nuit Blanche marks the beginning of the festival. In the studio, enjoy a collection of short films that intertwine the worlds of art and athletics. In the office, all are welcome to play dress-up in sports gear and pose in our interactive photo-booth.
