Be in the biting cold, and witness the most beautiful natural phenomenon Aurora Borealis dancing up in the sky? Well, we had exactly these things in our bucket list for years. Visiting Tromso in Arctic Norway was just a dream come true. We do it differently! Form a circle! Josh DePerry jumps in the middle and dances wildly, he literally flies across the square.
Some viewers jump into the middle of the circle, their bodies deforming themselves to the electro beats like gummi bears. All of a sudden the DJ turns up the beat, the crowd jumps, now fully heated, up and down and to the middle.
Now everyone is holding hands and dancing in circles. In a spiral. The energy is bombastic. Natural, tribal. The change of perspective from the consuming viewer to part of a performance is terrific. Finally, I discover the Party-lavuu.
Partying in the dark. The Circumpolar Hip-Hop Collaboration gives a concert! DJ Uyarakq, from Greenland, plays a bass-heavy sound. Aku Matu is bursting with energy, rapping, screaming and spitting into the microphone.
She tells angrily the life story of her mother, an Inuk from Alaska. The performance is extremely powerful. The official highlight of the festival is the appearance of the living Sami legend Mari Boine. She sings about the suppression of the Sami people. But also about Mother Earth and the wilderness of Finnmark.
Her message is a motivating one. It calls on the youth to educate themselves, to dig up the old knowledge and to translate it into the modern age. Then Isak comes on stage, a surprise guest.
Those who have just burst into tears now feel hope for the future of Sami culture. An elderly gentleman in a traditional garb next to me perfectly reflects the emotions that take place on stage. The next evening belongs to the artists, the working people, including the volunteers. Masses of delicious dishes are served. There is wine and beer. Later, in the bright summer night, some of the guests gather around a campfire.
The Taiwanese group, as always, ensures everybody has a good time. They balance Aku Matu, who is sitting in a chair, high in the air. They fire her into the kingdom of heaven and catch her shortly after.
