Giuvlipen means feminism in Romani, and is also the name of Romania’s first independent Roma feminist theatre company. This Bucharest-based collective now invites young people in Saint George to take part in a very special theatre workshop!
During the workshop, participants will talk about the body, about boundaries, about safety, about how to tell their stories and how to learn to say no.
In a safe, dynamic space, participants will explore themes such as storytelling, consent, (unequal) power relations, artistic expression and critical thinking, as well as the histories of marginalised communities.
The workshop is based on participatory theatre techniques: through physical exercises, collective improvisation, role-play, and guided reflection, it encourages young people to express themselves and think collectively. The ultimate goal is to establish a culture of consent in schools and within wider communities.
The workshops will be held in Romanian and are led by Kimberly Vintilă and Renata Teodora Cule.
Date:
October 11, Saturday, 11:00 // duration: 150 minutes
October 12, Sunday, 11:00 // duration: 150 minutes
Location: Plugor Sándor Art High School, Drama Room
Age limit: 16+
Participation is free but requires registration and places are limited.

string(3215) "This film is a remake of the 1921 silent movie Dracula's Death, produced a year before Murnau's famous Nosferatu. The original film was lost during World War II, but eight emerging directors reimagined it, each directing a chapter from the novel of the same title published after the film's release. Shot on 16mm black-and-white film, the story diverges from Bram Stoker's classic, unfolding as a series of nightmares and events set in a mental asylum where Dracula is one of the patients. Coincidentally, this is the first Dracula movie directed and produced by Transylvanians.
As part of the pulzArt Festival, the audience in Sfântu Gheorghe is invited to a special cinematic experience: a film screening accompanied by live music. Performers: Miquéu Montanaro (flute), Christian Sebille (electronics), Csaba Gáspár (violin), Lehel Vitályos (double bass), Paul Grosar (trumpet).
After the screening, there will be an artist talk session with composer Miquéu Montanaro.

string(1791) "Lenkke_, aka Lili Fehér, has been making music for six years now, and her career has been steadily going upwards ever since.
She spent three years at the famous Kőbányai Music Studio, accompanied Analog Balaton on several tours, and performed at the Papp László Sports Arena before Dzsúdló's sold-out concert. She has appeared at almost all summer festivals (Művészetek Völgye, Fishing on Orfű, Campus, Bánkitó, Kolorádó, Ördögkatlan, SZIN, Fekete Zaj), and gave concerts at the House of Music Hungary and Pontoon. Her first album, “Törik a beton” (“The Concrete is Breaking”), was released in November 2024 and was ranked among the best Hungarian albums of the year by Telex, Recorder, and Phenom.
In her concerts, dreamy alt-pop melodies alternate with the raw energy of underground electronica. She breathes even more life into her English and Hungarian tracks through singing, rapping, playing the flute and the Jew's harp, and twisting potmeters. Her recurring themes are love, self-discovery, and personal growth, her songs sensitively combining pensive lyrics with catchy tunes Her ability to craft music that is both accessible and artistically compelling speaks to her versatility as a musician.
We look forward to seeing you at Friday's pulzParty, where Lenkke_ will get you dancing to infectious pop anthems and soothe your soul with soft ballads!

string(1953) "Performative readers theatre by Gianina Cărbunariu
In a special readers theatre performance, Gianina Cărbunariu brings to life the story of director Magda Bordeianu. In 1968, as a university student, Bordeianu founded the Attic Theatre at the Student Culture House in Bucharest. The company immediately attracted wide professional attention and went on to shape generations of theatre-makers.
Gianina Cărbunariu retells this story from a contemporary perspective, drawing on archival materials, personal memories, and her own experiences as a young director in post-communist Romania. The performance brings two generations into dialogue: the first wave of artists to emerge after the Second World War, and the first to grow up in freedom after the Revolution of 1989.
Brought to the 11th pulzArt festival, the piece invites us to reflect on the freedom of expression, the consequences of personal choices, and how history – spoken or untold – continues to shape today’s art.
The reading will be in Romanian, with Hungarian subtitles, followed by a discussion with the audience.
Creators: Gianina Cărbunariu, Kinga Boros, and Adrian Ganea
Date: 12th of October, Sunday, 18:00 // duration: 70 minutes
Venue: Cinema Arta, Chaplin Hall
Ticket price: 20 lei
This event by the Asociația Română pentru Promovarea Artelor Spectacolului (ARPAS) is part of the Arhiva feministă de teatru FEM100 (Feminist Theatre Archive FEM100) project. Supported by AFCN (Administration of the National Cultural Fund)."

Her genre-fluid style weaves through ambient, breakbeat, melodic electronics, IDM, and hypnotic left-field sounds, delivering fresh beats and deep, captivating textures. With a critical ear and a taste for the unconventional, her sets surprise with emerging artists and unexpected sonic disruptions.
BenKult is deeply embedded in Rotterdam’s underground scene. She is a multidisciplinary curator at WORM, and the founder and key organiser of PsychoClub, a vibrant collective of female producers, DJs, and live acts established in 2022 to support and connect women artists across genres, creating sonic and visual performances that challenge the male-dominated DJ landscape. BenKult’s work embodies this spirit of community and exploration, making her a standout voice in contemporary electronic music.
With a critical ear and a taste for the unconventional, her sets surprise with emerging artists and unexpected sonic disruptions. So it will be thrilling to listen to her in person as part of this year’s pulzParty line-up. See you on Saturday!

string(1658) "Hadar Galron's moving and humorous story takes place in a women's bathhouse – a mikveh, a ritual bath where, once a month, women immerse themselves to purify themselves and be able to reconnect with their husbands.
The characters in the drama are women of different ages, bound by religious rules, who, in various social and family roles, fight for acceptance, freedom, and their rights—and, if necessary, revolt. A show that makes you laugh, moves you, and makes you think. A story that touches every woman (and man). An evening where humor and emotion go hand in hand.
Teatrum is a unique local initiative that brings contemporary texts and themes to the public in the intimate and direct form of café theater. The project has already become a tradition in the city: previously, three actors created shows as initiators, often related to the themes of the pulzArt festival.
With the participation of: Gajzágó Zsuzsa, Szalma Hajnalka, Pál Ferenczi Gyöngyi, Fekete Mária, Göllner Boróka, Daróczi Klarissza, and Korodi Janka

Kinga Illyés, an iconic actress of the 1970s and 1980s, was a defining figure in the Hungarian intellectual circles in Transylvania. Her apartment in Târgu Mureș became a legendary meeting place and refuge, where important personalities of the era regularly gathered. Between 1968 and 1989, the Romanian secret services continuously wiretapped her under the code name Theodora. In 2014, actress Orsolya Török-Illyés, Kinga Illyés’s daughter, requested nearly 3,000 pages of documents from the Securitate archives, which reveal a period of human life unfolding with the most natural dramaturgy, through uninterrupted surveillance. Based on these documents, Orsolya Török-Illyés and film director Szabolcs Hajdu created a radio play entitled Obiectiva Theodora: excerpts from the surveillance file of a Transylvanian actress.
At the invitation of pulzArt, Orsolya Török-Illyés is preparing a performative event that seeks, together with the audience, to make this historical trauma more comprehensible and bearable by focusing on an individual’s fate.
“When we lose someone important to us, even twenty-one years later, their absence can become painfully tangible in the most unexpected, simple, everyday moments. A few weeks ago, while eating soup at a wedding, I suddenly tasted the flavor of my mother’s broth. A few months ago, while teaching acting students in Târgu Mureș, I looked up and saw the window of her former room. A light went on, and for a moment I believed she had come home. Now I would like to stretch such a moment into nearly two and a half hours, with Obiectiva Theodora, subjectively.” Orsolya Török-Illyés
Date (two performances):
11th of October, Saturday, from 16:00 to 19:00, duration: 150 min
12th of October, Sunday, from 14:00 to 17:00, duration: 150 min
Meeting point: Székely National Museum, at 16:00

string(1559) "Zakhorov, aka Fanni Zahár, is a flutist, saxophonist, producer, and DJ whose name is well-known in jazz and world music circles from Berlin to London. She has collaborated with numerous bands and producers, exploring a wide range of genres, and has made it her mission to integrate her flute sound into the most diverse musical contexts. She regularly performs in Дeva’s live formation, is a recurring collaborator with the Berlin-Hungarian afro-jazz ensemble Àbáse, and has also appeared on stage with SunMa, a former guest of our festival.
Her solo project, Zakhorov, is a fusion of electronic music and live instruments. Fanni brings energetic, bass-driven rhythms that span a wide range of genres, from Afrofunk to polyrhythmic four-quarter beats, flavoured up with a touch of Balkan. According to her, it took fifteen years of experimentation for her to figure out which genre truly represented her.
Now she brings this exciting, distinctive sound to the 11th pulzArt. She will be kicking off the pulzParty series, and we’re excited to let you all know that this year’s line-up features exclusively female performers, all of them active shapers of the contemporary music scene.
Date: 10th of October, Friday, 22:00

string(1968) "Youth theater workshop
Giuvlipen means feminism in Romani, and is also the name of Romania’s first independent Roma feminist theatre company. This Bucharest-based collective now invites young people in Saint George to take part in a very special theatre workshop!
During the workshop, participants will talk about the body, about boundaries, about safety, about how to tell their stories and how to learn to say no.
In a safe, dynamic space, participants will explore themes such as storytelling, consent, (unequal) power relations, artistic expression and critical thinking, as well as the histories of marginalised communities.
The workshop is based on participatory theatre techniques: through physical exercises, collective improvisation, role-play, and guided reflection, it encourages young people to express themselves and think collectively. The ultimate goal is to establish a culture of consent in schools and within wider communities.
The workshops will be held in Romanian and are led by Kimberly Vintilă and Renata Teodora Cule.
Date:
October 11, Saturday, 11:00 // duration: 150 minutes
October 12, Sunday, 11:00 // duration: 150 minutes
Location: Plugor Sándor Art High School, Drama Room
Age limit: 16+
Participation is free but requires registration and places are limited.
