Kvartirnik is a term that appeared in the Soviet Union for unofficial shows with musicians, together with as many people in the audience as the venue would fit. Usually they were held in someone’s house or apartment. Kvartirniks were very popular before the 1980s, when many rock musicians were banned from performing on stage because they didn’t fit within the Soviet cultural agenda. With covid restrictions still part of everyday life to a small or large degree in our respective lands, we are taking a further step to help connect the people of Norway and Russia through live-art by creating a digital Kvartirnik installation during the festival!

Imagine it as a room physically located in both countries at once. It can become like a teleportation device, a place to get away from the divided reality into an imaginative alternative.

Technology will facilitate this connection, reviving the Kvartirnik at Barents Spektakel, a venue for hosting small concerts and performances throughout the festival.

Screens will form a three-sided room in The Old Tourist Hotel, and there will be a miniature streamcube in Murmansk (just like the installation on Kirkenes town square at Barents Spektakel 2021). With the help of cameras and live streaming, the festival audience on both sides of the border can greet, have a talk, share drinks and enjoy spontaneous live performances and music together!
