The Catharina Now Festival is a Utrecht-based festival as part of Orange the World, a global campaign against violence towards women and girls. The campaign takes place every year from November 25, the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, to December 10, International Human Rights Day.

The Catharina Nu Festival is popping up in various locations these days to color the city orange. Through dance, theater, music, and workshops, it is made visible that safety for women and gender-diverse people is not a given. The Legend of Catherine of Alexandria is closely intertwined with Utrecht's history and tells the story of a woman who remained true to herself in a time of violence, abuse of power, and social upheaval. The color orange, a symbol of hope for a future without violence, will therefore also be seen these days on the façade of Theater Kikker.
