Barents Spektakel 2010 is the seventh spektakel festival since the first in 2003. The festival has developed as a cultural-political cocktail with contemporary art, performances, literature, theatre, film, seminars and concerts as ingredients, spiced with the current issues related to the Barents Region and the High North in general.
The festival was opened on Wednesday with a spectacular show by the German theatre ensemble Pan Optikum and their show IL CORSO. Key elements to the show are actors, opera-singers, mechanical installations and impressive pyrotechnics.
