- Festival In The Mountain And A Golden Portal At Torgallmenningen – We Hope!
- March 19, 2020
All events for the Bergen International Festival 2020 have now been published on fib.no. – We hope that this year's festival can go ahead as planned, even though the coronavirus outbreak makes it impossible to know at this point in March, says festival director Anders Beyer.
Most of the programme was launched earlier this winter, but some of the most extraordinary experiences are now being made public for the first time.

At Torgallmenningen, there will be a special, gold-painted container – a portal – from the American arts, design and technology collective Shared_Studios. The portal is connected to some thirty equivalent containers around the world, and here, the audience can meet people from across the globe. Inside the Bergen_Portal, dinner will be arranged across continents, as well as jam-sessions with musicians in different countries and a number of open meetings with a predetermined topic. The portal in Bergen is the first in Norway.
The programme also includes a concert series specially adapted for people with autism, a concert cinema performance at Festplassen and a digital art exhibition that is created during the festival.
