NACHT VAN DE ZONDE

The seven deadly sins seem universal. Yet the rules do not apply equally to every soul - the sins have been used for centuries to keep women coloring within the lines. The common thread? That women must never be 'too', never too much, and certainly not more than men. The result? Good Girls behind bars, trapped in an invisible cage of unwritten laws, roles, and expectations.

What if we collectively overturned the deadly sins, which primarily taught us what we should not be or do? What if we used them like a lever, as fuel? What if you harnessed your anger as a powerful engine for change? Pulled desire towards you as the undisputed master of your own body and longing? Used jealousy as a spotlight on what you truly want? Laziness as a reclaimed right to rest, recovery, and doing nothing? In her new book 'Disobedience Will Save You', Anouck Meier exposes the numerous mechanisms that still keep women small.

During the Night of Sin, she invites every woman to claim more space, more courage, and more life. To tear the script of the Good Girl to shreds with a hefty dose of indignation and a generous sprinkle of humor. Set it ablaze.

And she does not do this alone. After a fiery feminist opening statement, she engages in conversation, under the inspired leadership of Melissa Giardina, with author Saskia De Coster, philosopher and activist Sofie Avery, and Mariam Harutyunyan, chair of the women's council and changemaker at the intersection of diversity, gender equality, and social innovation, about what disobedience can yield for us. Songwriter and columnist Nele Van den Broeck (aka Needs A Holiday) and slam poet Hind Eljadid will spice up the evening with sharp songs and slam poetry with a revolutionary edge.
