Our debates thrive on disagreement – bold, sharp and always with a sense of humour. More on the &Fest Debates.
On Friday March 13th, at 6 pm, Mirkka Maikola, Jussi Sorjanen and Martta Pesonen discuss the performance in the Espoo Cultural Centre lobby (in Finnish).
These pre-show sessions create a shared sense of anticipation familiar from sports events and offer background and context for the performance. More on the &Fest Pre-show Breakdowns.
On Friday, March 13th, at 8:45 pm, an artist talk with director Anna Smolar will take place at Kupla after the performance.
On Saturday, March 14th, the second festival week of &Fest is wrapped in &Revontuli. From 5 pm onwards, Bar Juoru transforms into a stage for ballroom as Doll Domination Kiki Ball brings Pussycat Dolls–inspired aesthetics to Espoo, celebrating femininity in all its forms.
Each festival week culminates in club nights – science, culture, conversation and dancing, all wrapped up in the very best festival atmosphere. More on the &Fest Clubs.
