Back by ironic demand, Moira’s legendary New Year’s Eve party returns—this time, with an extravagant wink to the “end of the world” hysteria of yesteryear. As we close another chapter of “Everything’s Awful, but at Least We’re Fabulous,” let’s dance, laugh, and celebrate with an unforgettable night of music, mischief, and defiance.

✨ What to Expect:

An eclectic soundtrack to your dystopian dreams, a curated lineup featuring Utrecht’s most electrifying artists:

- Jan Modaal
- Camy Huot
- BabbyTraxx b2b Mirkoko

A dancefloor where apocalyptic angst meets pure joy.

An invitation to embrace your boldest or most outrageous fashion.

Let’s ring in the New Year in true Moira style—unpredictable, unforgettable, and full of heart. The end is nigh… or at least until the bar closes.

🪩 Party

Cultureel Centrum Moira Utrecht

Brave New Year – Doomsday Disco

Every Wednesday from September until the end of May. Doors open: 19:00 / First act: 20:00

We create an atmosphere where the audience can have full attention to the artist and whatever it is they are bringing to the stage. That’s one of the reasons both artists and audiences like to come to our events. Another is the kind and welcoming atmosphere we create, and of course the setting in this beautiful venue! To sign up for the open mic you can send a message to the open mic Instagram page (@moiraopenmic), or just come to the venue. We keep spots open for both people who sign up in advance and people who show up on the spot. Be sure to be on time since we only have 8 spots every week! All genres are welcome, and we have plenty of mics, DIs, a piano, a guitar amp and a cajon. Feel free to reach out to us on our Instagram page (@moiraopenmic) if you have any questions!

The Moira Open Mic is hosted by Ivo Hoefsloot and Jochen Oosting.

Open Mic Night

What happens when Karan Karthik a male Indian comedian living in the Netherlands and Anya Zova a female Russian comedian based in the USA bring their wildly different perspectives on love and dating?

You get “Love is Profit,” an interactive comedy show where love meets bottom lines and passion meets practicality.

Armed with wit and plenty of real-life stories, these two comedians dive into the profit-driven side of relationships. They take questions from the crowd about love, dating, and sex—then break down your most complicated romantic dilemmas using a mindset built on ROI and sustainable bonds.

Expect a clash of hilarity and insight as they riff off each other’s crazy life experiences and unique cultural takes. From optimizing first dates to calculating the cost-benefit ratio of ghosting, they’re here to make you laugh, think, and question if maybe, just maybe, love and business aren’t so different after all.

If you’ve ever wondered whether love is just good business—or if business can lead to love—this show is for you. Bring your questions, bring your dates, and leave with a new outlook (and maybe a few spreadsheets).

Love is a Profit

Join us for an interactive evening of stand-up comedy where you can submit your life problems and questions anonymously on a piece of paper, and our hilarious comedians will use the power of humour to provide hilarious advice. Perfect for English-speaking comedy lovers who want a fun night out, our show is cheaper than therapy and sure to dispel stress with punchlines. Don’t miss this unique opportunity to laugh your problems away and enjoy a great time with friends. Get your tickets now and make sure to tag along anyone who loves stand-up comedy or simply having a good time!

Take part in a real-life board game and discover playful ways to interact in a live performance. On the 30th of November we invite you in SoundShape, where classical music blends with improvisation.

SoundShape is an interactive performance between musicians and audience, lasting 30 minutes and designed for an audience of around 15-20 people. Challenging the conventional concept of a concert, we encourage the public to actively participate and discover ways of interaction in a playful manner. The performance is designed to be widely accessible, requiring no prior knowledge or expertise. We invite you to join us in this unique performance and participate in our real-life analog game, inspired by board games.

We invite everyone who identify as BIPOC to our next gathering. More information on the topic will follow soon on our instagram, so stay tuned!

Organisation

We are a new BIPoC collective in Utrecht that aims to provide a safer space for people who identify as BIPoC (Black, Indigenous, People of Color). Together we hope to create a space where we can empower each other and heal collectively.

We see the value and importance of sharing our personal struggles with each other and organizing together because we live in a hegemonic white society. By giving and reclaiming space, we can tell our own stories that can foster feelings of empowerment and autonomy. Ultimately, this can motivate us to take action and resist systems of oppression and ultimately point the way to liberation, as Audre Lorde said: “Without community, there is no liberation.”

We want to create a community where people of all ages are welcome and support our vision that is firmly feminist, anti-racist, anti-imperialist, anti-capitalist, anti-ableist and against all other forms of oppression.

BIPOC Gathering

We want to invite everyone around us for a session on the 27th of November! We will have a discussion around the theme of masc and self-sufficiency! ’. More info on the specific topic will follow soon on our social media/mailing list.

Organisation

Patriarkraakt is a Utrecht-based collective organizing workshops and sessions for people who want to work on their internalized toxic masculinity. Patriarkraakt believes that people who’ve internalized toxic masculinity should work on themselves, and by organizing these sessions, we hope to fight toxic masculinity, cultivate emotional honesty and fight the patriarchy. In this way, our aim is to contribute to making the movement safer for women, queers and trans people, but also for men themselves.

Patriarkraakt

My Sweet Child is an exploration of memory, an attempt to make sense of what is left behind.  
In 2014, AIDS activist and feminist anthropologist Martine de Schutter is killed. Ten years later, her  
only child attempts to reconstruct their relationship, her life and his loss through film.  
The documentary is an assembly of archival footage, conversations, pictures and everything that  
has the texture of memory. A resistance to the inevitable fading and destruction of memories. But  
above all an intimate, associative portrayal of the connection between mother and child.

My Sweet Child
