Welcome to the Spark of DanseFestival Barents!
Step into the beating heart of our opening night, where the Arctic air crackles with anticipation. The celebration begins as Hammerfest Storband fills the foyer with vibrant rhythms and soaring soundscapes, setting the tone for an unforgettable evening.
Arts Council Norway officially opens DanseFestival Barents — a gesture of support that underscores the festival’s role as a bridge between art, place, and possibility. Then, as the energy builds, the visionary and whimsical performance Fløff by Yaniv Cohen takes the stage — an entrancing fusion of movement, imagination, and visual wonder.
From there, we step out together into the Hammerfest night, walking down the street to Strandgata 22 to experience
Abundance by Liv Hanne Haugen and Lawrence Malstaf — a performance pulsing with connection and presence.
Get ready: this evening marks your first dance into something extraordinary.
