The Barents Spectacle is a regional Festival which
takes place in Kirkenes, in the North East of Norway on
the border to Russia and Finland. The Spectakel »Pikene
på Broen« was born in 1996 by five women of
the Barents region. This year’s festival theme was »borders
and fences« to form a close union and collaboration
between the northern countries and to exchange different
cultural arts, attitudes and backgrounds. The aim is to
power-ing the development of the local society and the
cultural co-operation with the northern areas of the neighbouring
countries.
The Barents Spektakel 2006 is a group project consisting
of team works from the Universities of Norway, Russia, Sweden
and Finland. Students from these Universities gathered here
and developed together the idea, perfor-mance and constructions
of their projects.
