ISOLATIONS-TV #STOFF2023
A global disaster has eradicated civilisation. The air is unbreathable, and war wages over the remaining resources. Survivors have retreated to underground shelters awaiting rescue. Two morning-show TV hosts have fled into an emergency broadcasting studio far below ground. In a desperate attempt to find meaning (and stay moderately sane), they try to do what they do best – deliver entertainment and news around the clock—topics: Dark humour, post-apocalypse, isolation, boredom, and communication.
Isolations-TV is a humoristic and dystopian theatre show that explores isolation, boredom and the human will to communicate!

The MthR Trilogy (Sophie McKeand) #STOFF2023
The MthR Trilogy (Sophie McKeand, Wales)
ysbryd | cyborg | spoken word | field recordings | techno | iaith | The MthR Trilogy is an epic sci-fi adventure of interwoven stories told from a panoply of coalescing and conflicting standpoints. It explores notions of shifting power, loyalty, language, and love as humans & cyborgs navigate personal and professional relationships in a singular slice of time. The live events consist of spoken word, looped vocals, glitched field recordings, excerpts from the audiobooks, & occasional improvisation with select musicians.
Sophie McKeand is an award-winning poet from north Wales and former Young People’s Laureate Wales. Her poetry, prose, and performances weave together language & sound in order to explore humanity’s connections with technology and our interspecies ecosystem. These improvised performances include spoken extracts from The MthR Trilogy novels interwoven with field recordings, vocal loops, and occasional riffs with musicians.

Waterflower #STOFF2023
Waterflower (real name Sabīne Moore) is an eco-futurist artist and music producer from Latvia. Using plants and mushrooms as both instruments and MIDI generators, they create a unique blend of avant-pop, hyperpop, and digital hardcore that speaks to the urgent need to protect and preserve our natural world. In addition to their raw and powerful music, Waterflower’s live shows feature synced video animations, creating a truly immersive and multi-sensory experience.
With a critically acclaimed album (nominated for two Latvian Zelta Mikrofons awards) and a music video selected to compete in the Riga IFF Baltic Music Video competition, Waterflower is an artist to watch out for. They are not only a musical talent, but also a visual artist whose work can be exhibited in galleries as well as discovered in underground clubs.
In addition to their work as Waterflower, Sabīne Moore also performs as drag king Bill Lagoon.
Waterflower’s roots in the underground music scene go back to 2006, when they first gained recognition as bedroom pop and noise act Kroffork, releasing their music for free on last.fm. As one of the first female solo acts in electronic music in the Latvian underground, Sabīne Moore has been making a name for themselves for over a decade.

Parti Gras
Parti Gras 2023
It’s time for the thrid annual Parti Gras walking parade and parti! Saturday, August 19, 2023, from 14:00 to late 😃
For those of you who weren’t there the last two last years: It’s like Mardi Gras in New Orleans, but in Söderort and in August… It’s Parti Gras!
We’ll gather in Bandhagen Centrum at 14:00 and walk together through the park until we get to Cyklopen and continue to have a parti. And by that we mean hot dj sets, dancing, live music, costume contest, shenanigans, hootin’ n hollerin’ – it’s supposed to be the last day of debauchery before Lent so we basically embrace a healthy ”passa på” mentality 😉
Everyone (especially dogs and kids) are welcome!
Can’t wait to see y’all there!!!
Mvh,

Cyklopen 10 år!
Tioårsfirande lördag 7 oktober 2023!
I höst fyller kulturhuset Cyklopen 10 år! Det är så stort och vi ska förstås fira det så mycket vi bara kan. Just nu planerar vi men skriv in datumet redan nu, via event, kalender eller gott minne, så berättar vi mer längre fram. Men kom ihåg detta: det här är din inbjudan till höstens mäktigaste fest.
Föranmälan krävs så signa upp dig redan nu. Skriv upp dig här: https://forms.gle/Ff1WfMq7v8bxT2YU6
I slutet av 2008 brändes Cyklopen 1 ned till grunden. Våren 2011 påbörjades arbetet med vårt och Stockholms nya frihetliga kulturhus. Vi drömde större. Vi byggde större. I september 2013 stod det nya huset färdigt. Under de tio åren som gått sedan dess har vi huserat folkbildning, musik, förlagsverksamhet, scen-, litterär- och ljudkonst, hantverk, odling, självorganisering och gemenskap.
Cyklopen är en plats, ett äventyr, en rörelse – vi firar ihop!
Ur intet skapas intet.
Ur stål, trä och kanalplast kan hundratals människor med ett gemensamt mål skapa historia.
Vi bygger, därför är vi.
Inträde: 100 kr – betalas på plats.
Ålder: 18+.
Draw the internet!
Vi träffas och försöker göra Internet begripligt genom att rita.
Här är presentationstexten från Meetup-eventet:
Important note
You don’t need to know anything about the internet and stuff to join. I can tell you a bit about it. If we don’t know something, we’ll look it up. 😊
Description
I’m so bored with diagrams in books about internet networking and protocols! They’re all like little boxes and arrows pointing to other boxes and stiff little computers and what is that thing that’s a circle with an X in it? That’s a server? What the hell? WHAT.
Can’t a data packet be a weird little goblin cat or something? What if protocols like HTTP were mad wizards or immigration trolls or netherworld postal service hell elves? Internet service providers (ISP) could be like Richard Scarry’s Busy Town Hall or Adventure Time’s Nightosphere. Who knows! Are we human or are we server?
Let’s draw!
You can also perform if you like. Or make music. Or whatever. Internetworking is rich with narrative promise. Have fun with it!
Why
Fun way to learn about t3h w3bz under the hood?
Materials
I have dry erase sheets to put on the wall. Bring your own dry erase non-permanent white board markers. I have only 5 markers in gross standard office colours.
That’s all I got.
Bring your own paint and clay and wine and cake or whatever if you like.
Mood
