About Oktoberdans
Oktoberdans is an international dance festival programmed by BIT Teatergarasjen at different venues in Bergen every second year in October. This year’s edition of Oktoberdans takes place from 16 to 26 October and is a range of performances and expanded formats that speculate, provoke, and redefine. BIT Teatergarasjen co-produces and presents Norwegian and international performing arts, and places particular emphasis on projects that stimulate international collaboration and work across artistic genres.
