We have released four dance workshops for this year’s Uma Obscura! They are tought by experienced dancers from the scene, namely Dud Muurmand and Ida & Maxx. There is something for everyone we believe and also both for beginners and more experienced dancers.
How about Gespenstertheater – or ”how to dance like a ghost” or a Dark Viking workshop where you learn to dance with a big cape or skirt in a mix of modern day’s Tribal Fusion together with ancient Ghawazee dance and Balkan Fusion – with a huge medieval Viking kick!
British legendary pagan gothic rock band Inkubus Sukkubus will be part of the line up for Uma Obscura 2020. They have been around since the 80’s in the scene and have performed world wide. Now, time for their first appearance in northern Sweden and Umeå.
Art Obscura continue to evolve and this year we welcome new artists to the line up, namely Dan Pålsson and the Cygne Noir photo exhibition and Olof Röckner, who explore different aspects and variations of the human skull as a symbol.
There will also be more skulls, as Hanna Rindeskog returns with her collection of skeletons and surrealism, and we also welcome back Anna Windseth with her art inspired by nature, animals, myths and fairytales.
This and more at the Art Obscura. The exhibitions will be open on both Friday April 3 and Saturday, April 4 this year and as usual there is free admittance during the day program!
U.K. post-punk legends The Danse Society are celebrating 40 years across Europe and we are happy to announce that one gig will be at the Uma Obscura festival!
We are proud to present that Kælan Mikla will join the 2020 line up for Uma Obscura! The Icelandic synthpunk band will go on an extensive tour and one of the stops will be in Umeå!
We are releasing the first artists for Uma Obscura 2020! First out we have the honor of welcoming back to Umeå the legendary gothic rock band Two Witches from Finland!
As if that wasn’t enough we also release the first artists from the Dance Obscura program and we are proud to welcome new dancer Storm and veteran at Uma Obscura: Entropy – a bellydancer with a twist. Also, first name for the Art Obscura is Anna Windseth!
