Kalil Bat began his artistic journey with Afro-Caribbean dances and street styles. He later expanded his repertoire to include pole dance, acrobatics, and contortion. He is currently studying at the renowned La Manufacture in Lausanne. His work moves between dance, performance, and narration, shaped by collective experiences, intersectional perspectives, and a desire for connection. His solo AFRO-TRANS DIARY premiered in Berlin in 2022. Kalil’s artistic language is marked by versatility, expressiveness, and a deep commitment to contemporary dance. In Cologne, he presents the short film BEYOND THE GOLDEN LINE, in which he plays the lead role, and offers a safer space workshop for the Black queer community.
