Lethal Fantasies

‘Chrysalis’ officiates Lethal Fantasies as Bussy Temple’s ongoing party series, platforming femme and nonbinary DJs & artists within Southeast Asia’s vibrant contemporary electronic dance music scene. This initiative also serves as a creative avenue for us to explore multifaceted aspects of femininity.

This effort is rooted in our collective recognition of the need for representation and accessible platforms promoting Southeast Asian DJs. More importantly, it’s fueled by a shared understanding of the enduring influence of colonial constructs on our historical trajectory that continues to reverberate through our societal frameworks, identities, and artistic expressions.

Organizers

Bussy Temple is a collective of creatives organizing raves centering queers, trans, nonbinary, and femmes. Organically formed through the shared frustration of the lack of non cis-men queer spaces in Singapore, our parties serve as a social and political tool to expand and distort the vocabularies of queerness, as well as create and promote safe spaces for you to let go, glitch, and expand your way of being.

House Rules

1. Respect the vibe and the space around you. Leave your arrogance out of the room, nobody is better than anyone.

2. This is a queer event that prioritizes trans, nonbinary, and femmes. If you’re a cis man, be mindful of the space you’re taking up.

3. Consent is key. Do not touch anyone in the space without their consent. ALWAYS ASK, DO NOT ASSUME.
