Indulging in culture in student rooms
Making music on a Game Boy, and a performance by a cabaret duo with the intriguing name Bovenste knoopje open (Top button undone). These are two examples of the nine varied performances making up this year's Stukafest Eindhoven. This year's edition very nearly didn't happen, but a couple of committed students picked up the gauntlet and will be presenting the results of their efforts on Friday February 23rd.
When Cengizhan Can, TU/e student of Computer Science & Engineering, learned at the end of last year that the Stukafest in Eindhoven could not go ahead, he took action. “I'd previously visited a Stukafest in Tilburg and thought it would be a real shame if it couldn't go ahead here. So I decided to take up the challenge, with the help of a couple of friends.”
And a challenge it certainly was to get the Stukafest off the ground in the short time since November. The initiators finally managed to arrange for nine acts to play in nine student houses and for one after party to be held at Kafee Aloys.
Students can visit up to three performances on Friday evening, and there will be enough time to walk or cycle from the one student room to the next. The venues are all easy to locate using the Stukafest app. Tickets are on sale online. In fourteen other student cities a Stukafest is also being held about now.
