A Port City in Norway Celebrates Culture
By Linda Tancs
The unassuming little oil metropolis of Stavanger is celebrating this year as one of Europe’s capitals of culture. Sharing honors this year with Liverpool, Stavanger is but a quarter of its size and is Norway’s fourth largest city. Unlike Liverpool, Stavanger’s program of events is devoid of big-name celebrities and glitzy events. Instead, Stavanger is providing a forum for innovative national and international artists, among them a Belgian musical group (in residence), an Israeli dance troupe, Lithuanian Oskarus Koršunovas’ provocative theatre, and a South African puppeteer, all in keeping with the theme “Open Port.” Look for more daily departures from London Gatwick beginning in March.
