ffo: horror movies, night markets and dancing
Experience a Halloween celebration like no other! Join us at Roodkapje for Fem Disturbances, a multidisciplinary event that provides a stage for women and gender non-conforming individuals to question, entertain, and express the complexities of their gender identities. Get ready for a night filled with spanks, spooks, weirdness, and all things hot, scary, and gender fucky.
Please note that this event is organized by a queer-feminist organization and prioritizes the comfort and visibility of LGBT+ people and women. If you do not belong to these communities (and even if you do), please be mindful of the space you take up—physically and conceptually—and act with respect toward fellow visitors, artists, and staff. Any discriminatory or aggressive behavior will result in immediate exclusion from the event.

While Roodkapje will close its doors to prepare the party, Circus of Horror will take care of entertaining and scare the crap out of you.

Club & Performances | 23h-03h
Step into a dark 80s-inspired atmosphere where performances, music, and more blend together to create a strange, satirical, campy, and slightly kinky night. This is a space to explore diverse perspectives on femininities and femnesses.
Featured Performances:
00h Gum (Antonella Fittipaldi): Dive into a live installation centered on queer bodies through a movement research-based concept. Femmes take the stage and lead the audience into a meditative atmosphere that channels anger and resistance.
01h Uninterrupted (Anak Rojak): An unapologetic confrontation to what be believe a woman is to be.
DJs Spinning All Night:
23h-01h CVPID: Spinning Turkish darkwave & EBM tracks to set a moody, intense vibe.
01h-03h Dndykes: Expect hard techno, nightcore, and jersey club with disturbing remixes and surprises. Think screams, moans, and industrial-like noises—all delivered with a unique, deranged performance style.
