Celebration of Metropolis Culture!

United efforts of artists from Gdańsk, Sopot and Gdynia. Accumulated power of music, dance and arts. The best clubs in the Tricity, dozens of concerts and performances of independent dance theatres and since last year also visual arts exhibitions – the festival exists not only to promote the notion of ‘metropolis’, but, above all, also to promote the joy of cooperation and all its positive energy. For a few December days, somewhere between Christmas and New Year’s Eve, local artistic spheres combine their impressive potential: afternoons, evenings and nights become the territory of arts and good entertainment. Every day another city of the metropolis becomes a host for around fifteen performers. The festival does not establish any fixed genre boundaries, does not classify artists – we are liberal enough to make jazz meet reggae, to confront experimental music with sung poetry, or indie rock with ska. It is here that artistic energy matters more than anything else – this positive energy is easily shared by the artists and the audience.

This year we defenitelly won’t let anybody gets bored – lovers of all kinds of sounds shall choose from among 70 concerts in Ucho, Parlament and Sfinks clubs. Amateurs of classical music can feel invited to the Music Theatre in Gdynia. For those who like not only to read literature but also to talk about it we prepared meetings with the TriCity based writers and poets. Arts lovers, ATTN! This year in the Gdynia museum we shall preset works of best graphic designers from the region (it will be available till the middle of January). And for those who get inspired by interdisciplinary art we’ve prepared premiere of dance theatre spectacle based on a famous book of Dorota Masłowska Snow White and Russian Red (Wojna polsko-ruska pod flagą biało-czerwoną). Feel invited!
