Pique returns to Arts Court this weekend for this year’s spring edition, including an added day of programming with an International Women’s Day focus.
This is Debaser’s second multi-day edition of Pique, which will kick off the festival’s fifth season with more than 15 artists, three stages, and four installations featured across two days of programming starting March 7.

This spring event, featuring groundbreaking performances, art installations, and presentations, promises to highlight women and gender nonconforming people who demonstrate artistic innovation and leadership.
In the lineup are local artists like DJ FIAMMA, as well as out-of-town artists like soulful songwriter-producer keiyaA. There will also be striking installations from Aylin Abbasi and Carmina Miana presented in partnership with Bourse Tontine, playful inflatables by Studio Rat, and the opening of a solo exhibition by multidimensional local artist Bucko in SAW Gallery.
There’s lots to look forward to in this edition, with the festival bringing together club futurism, intercultural ambient-electronic, jazz-hop vanguardism, vocal experimentation, leftfield pop music, drag brilliance, soft sculpture installation, and lots more, according to Debaser in a press release.
