Between the 15. – 18. February 2024, Pikene på Broen will stage Barents Spektakel in Kirkenes, Norway – an international festival consisting of contemporary art, theatre, music, debates, film, performances and a bar concept. Through these different elements the festival will again become a meeting place for everyone with an interest in the cultures and contemporary issues related to the high north.

The festival first started in 2004 and in February 2024 will transform Kirkenes into a Barents Metropolis for the 20th time: Check the programme on our Barents Spektakel homepage!
