MILVUS ARTISTIC RESEARCH CENTER
CURRENT
Vårskriket 2026 is a rambunctious explosion of dance and music from across the world at Knislinge Folkets Park. This year, the festival boldly makes space for many voices — from returning favorites like dancer Frédéric Gies (who could forget last year’s performance featuring a giant inflatable foot and booming beats by DJ Fiedel), to an operatic dance with Rachel Tess — fy fan, jävla mög, yes, we’re doing it again — and Anna Pehrsson building mountains out of bodies.
We also welcome the long-awaited return of Knislinge’s jam band Bird Spencer, Americana straight from the U.S. with singer-songwriter Mathew Paige, Sweden’s acclaimed dance company Norrdans, love letters to your town, and — wait for it — EPA-dunk meets reggae with JeppsoN and General Knas.
Here we are, Knislinge. No town is ever just one thing — one opinion, one perspective. Join us at MARC as we welcome spring with a gigantic Ronia the Robber’s Daughter scream from the park.
WHY? WHY HERE? WHY NOW? WITH WHOM?
