HERE: 2021 – International Performing Arts Festival, as a rhizome, assembles works as an array of attractions, as a nomadic playlist of events. Works that can excite and evoke empathy, that can be poetic and unusual, yet that can twist expectations, co-opting the spectators as imaginative authors. It’s like charting a cartography of poetic visions through performances that can generate emotions, sensitively empowering aesthetics. Projects that avoid predetermined outcomes and that escape strict definitions of genre.

The collaboration between artists is one of the central cores of the programme, that includes dance performances; conversations; experimental films and silent movie projections, with live concerts of well known composers and musicians. Along the festival, the exciting project of visual artist Luciano Goizueta (CR) will define hybrids territories, archiving events and constantly collecting metadata.

The festival will take place from 16 September to 3 October 2021 at Vitlycke – Centre for Performing Arts and art gallery Lokstallet in Strömstad.
