For three days Festival Norpas offers events involving emerging and newly created arts. It is held annually in the historic industrial town of Dalsbruk on the island of Kimito, which during the festival becomes a backdrop for meetings and interaction between various disciplines, creators and artists of different countries and cultures. The activity programme also extends to several art centres in Helsinki and Turku, the two largest cities in Finland which are located close to the area where the festival takes place.
With the support of AC/E, Spain is being represented in this year’s edition by performances by
Fátima Miranda and Marc Egea; the singer-songwriter Niño de Elche in a joint project with Finnish artists Ismo Alanko and Kimmo Pohjonen; and the Takeo Takahashi Quartet, whose project Cobra by John Zorn aims to bring together the musicians taking part in the festival in a joint action.
