PartnerSpicyMatchRaw art. Dark elegance. The freedom of your own expression.
Bastion opens the door to a world where the international fetish scene, provocative performance art and the intensity of a club night meet. A world of leather, latex, rope and strong personalities, where aesthetics become attitude and the stage becomes a meeting place of beauty, discomfort, power and vulnerability.
This November, Zagreb becomes the site of a world premiere, a meeting of different artistic languages and experiences that extend far beyond the stage. From the first performance to the last play, Bastion invites you to explore the space, follow your curiosity and find your own rhythm of the night.
Programme
Parisfire, authority and dark sensuality
From Paris comes Mère Dragon, an international artist, performer and professional dominatrix who has been building her craft on stages around the world since 2015.
Her artistic language combines fire, movement, alternative eroticism and BDSM aesthetics. At its centre is a powerful stage presence: femininity that takes up space, seizes control and asks no permission to be powerful.
World premiereworld premiere
After a performance that defined the previous edition of Bastion, SUKA OFF chooses Zagreb for the world premiere of their new performance. A narrative sequel to last year's WHITE ROOM, it replaces the clinical whiteness with raw, heavy blackness and opens a new chapter of a dark, bloody and unsettling story.
A Polish artistic collective present on the international fetish scene since 2005, recognisable for their blend of visual theatre, body art, industrial aesthetics and analogue audiovisual techniques. Their work crosses the boundaries of continents and conventions. Their new story begins at Bastion.
SerbiaSome encounters are planned. Others simply happen when the right energy finds the right person.
I am Filip – a non-binary Dominatrix from Serbia, known for turning presence, attitude and curiosity into an experience that stays with you long after the moment passes.
My world lies somewhere between domination, sensuality, play and the unexpected. I relish the tension before something happens, the chemistry between strangers and those small moments when someone suddenly realises they have stepped outside their comfort zone – and no longer wants to return.
At Bastion you will have the chance to meet me, interact with me and discover a part of my world for yourself.
How exactly will that happen?
That part is best left for you to discover.
Shibarithree riggers, one connected performance
Three different approaches to rope meet in a performance prepared for Bastion. Precision and self-tie control, the raw power of intense performance, and sensual connection guided by touch and breath become part of the same story.
Three energies. Three languages of rope. Their meeting is revealed only on stage.
CzechiaClawdering is a new direction in the world of intimacy and eroticism. It combines mindful touch technique with elements of tantra and massage, offering a completely new palette of sensations at the subtler end of the spectrum.
