This year’s Ultima Festival programme has been on an extraordinary journey to get to its final destination. The initial plans and themes were cooked up before the coronavirus appeared. Meanwhile, the world turned upside down – and so did the festival!
In this introductory guide to Ultima 2020, Artistic Director Thorbjørn Tønder Hansen will outline the highlights and key moments in the evolution of this year’s Ultima, and explain how the festival and its composers and artists have kept pace with unpredictable events and unforeseen restrictions. Several key works and performances have adapted and altered as a direct result of the new social environment and travel restrictions. We’ll discover how artists’ ingenuity have helped them make the best of a difficult situation.
The conversation is in English.
