What is GÁTT Nordic Arts Festival?
GÁTT Nordic Arts Festival is a multidisciplinary nomadic festival held biannually, each time in a different Nordic country. The festival aims to strengthen the collaboration between Nordic artists and to build a community that locally expands each festival edition. This year the festival takes place in Helsinki 23.–25.8.2024, as a partner festival of the Helsinki Festival! 🎉
The artist-led festival aims to build a community of Nordic artists collaborating with the local art scene, presenting a diverse programme of exhibitions, performances, and concerts on the thematic landscape on the prefix ‘re-’.
During the 3-day festival the events will take place at Ylioppilasteatteri, Forum Box, Hietsun Paviljonki and MUU Contemporary Art Centre. Take a look at the whole program on the GÁTT Nordic Art Festival’s website.

RIVA Faroese Dance Company: MINNISBROT (MEMORY FRAGMENTS)
Memories, whether preserved or suppressed, stay in our bodies and leave behind marks. As we physically change our memories change with us. Memories can be the remnants of a time gone by, a place, a person or an occurrence. Reminiscing about good times; trying to make sense of blurry occurrences gone by in an intoxicated state; wanting to latch onto the memory or trying to run away from it.
MINNISBROT (MEMORY FRAGMENTS) is a double bill dance performance presented by RIVA the Faroese Dance Company. A performance that entwines dance and poetry. The two duets being presented are: ‘tveyeini’ (two-alone) by Rannvá G. Niclasen and Vár B. Árting and ‘Minni: neglir klóra rygg’ (Memory: nails scratching back) by Beinir Bergsson and Búi Rouch.
The common thread is the connection between two bodies and the emotional interplay between the two. The works deal with themes of yearning, longing and the intimacy between two bodies on stage. The double bill is a journey through a series of memory fragments, both personal and as told by others, in an effort to embody and depict them through movement.
two-alone // tveyeini
Two bodies entwined in movement on a journey through fragments of memories. Through a juxtaposition of pedestrian body language, abstract and performative movements the sense of reality is distorted and a new universe is shaped, reflecting the emotional spectrum connected to the themes. The frame for the soundscape is Klingra’s new album “…eftir”.
Memory: nails scratching back // Minni: neglir klóra rygg
The work puts forth a landscape of memories, a collision of poems and movements about queer yearning. Six memories about intimacy, bodycontact and sexual assault are depicted through the flux of words and movements. Seeking a way to recollect these memories through bodily material and utterances
