Cycle workshop – movement-based workshop //
3:00-5:30PM STEREO MŰVHÁZ

[English Friendly!] Free movement workshop on everything that comes out of the womb. Let`s scream, squirm, cower and shake our asses, let`s be strong and fragile, soft and firm, round and sharp. What can we learn from hormone fluctuations? What happens when we focus on the weekly cycles of estrogen and progesterone instead of the daily testosterone-based one dictated by the patriarchy? Expect practical, healing movement skills, acceptance exploration and liberating dance exercises.

No prior dance experience required. Arrive in comfortable clothing that allows you to move easily and freely. Suggested donation: 500 – 2,000 HUF or menstrual hygiene products to be donated to the community laundry. Details in the Facebook event.

WeAreGloria: Ideology – record release //
9:00-10:00PM AURÓRA BASEMENT

After a two-year hiatus, WeAreGloria returns with IDEOLOGY, a live act that coincides with the album’s release on February 14th. Krisztina Dányi (also known as WeAreGloria and morningdeer) invites you to an immersive sonic experience that explores perception, meaning, and identity.

Blending art pop, avant-garde, and IDM, WeAreGloria’s work merges the uncanny with the familiar. IDEOLOGY dives into the invisible forces shaping how we love, think, and act. This performance disrupts conventional expectations, turning sound into a sensory exploration of control and liberation.

With visuals by Edina Palkovits, the show intertwines music and imagery, inviting you to question the ideologies you live by.
