Barents Spektakel. What is it?

"The festival Barents Spektakel - this is a cultural and political cocktail, which consists of modern art and music, literature and architecture, workshops and debates, theater on the stage and street theater, etc. All these ingredients are seasoned with the current issues of Barents Region and the north. And all this happens during the polar night, a dark February week, which is illuminated by the northern lights and deafened by voices of the Arctic.
The theme and slogan of the festival are changed every year, depending on what is now particularly acute sounds on the political, cultural and social scene of the Arctic.
