BARTALK is a multidisciplinary lecture-performance-storytelling series taking place in different bars in The Hague. In current corona times, we are bringing BARTALK to a podcast format. Our guests share their stories and perspectives after which we ask them questions (including audience contributions!)

featuring Marie Diane Grouchka and Mariya Shcherbinina, therapists at PSYNT (The Hague). Their practice focuses on the LGBTQ+ community and ex-pats. M.D. and Mariya also run their own podcast series called BiPositive where they explore the sexual continuum.

In alchemy, you learn to understand, decompose and then create. M.D and Mariya will walk you through the process of creating meaning in relationships and how our cultural differences can influence the dynamics of our communication. They will also give us some tools to get better at finding common ground with the ones we love. We talk not only about romantic relationships, but also familial relationships and friendships.

Produced by Hans Poel

Music by Sro - Bring Back and Chad Crouch - Algorithms
