Kisúgó - Zine Festival
Student Trade Union: Kisúgó - Samizdat History and Zine Festival
Schedule
The members of the Students' Union are creating an interactive space, a discussion, a collaborative creative process that deals with former samizdats and contemporary zines.
Through their programme, civilians who care about who and what is said in public, and who dictates it, can find their own voices through each other - to collectively recognise the importance of small community voices and finally start to harness their formative power. This is particularly important in an era when individual voices and credible information seem to be lost from the free (?) press.

Merlin Theatre
The 150th anniversary of Budapest brings a real surprise to its citizens. After twelve years, the Merlin Theatre, the capital's iconic building, is coming back to life and a new promenade is being created in the heart of the city centre. To celebrate its birthday on 17 November, the city will be celebrating with a whole week of events, a party, performances, concerts and an open-air exhibition!
The Merlin Theatre, which closed its doors in 2011, will reopen! The ALT.BP festival will include a theatre performance with Dorottya Udvaros, a slam poetry night, exhibitions and talks.
