This was completely unique. The JORVIK is not a literary venue. It is the home of viking history in the UK, a huge tourist attraction and a museum really, with an anamatronic experience. Somehow we managed to present new avant garde and literary poetry performances amidst the unique layout of the space, moving from space to space. Some really theatrical and interesting performances were followed by everyone attending going on the ride through time. We time travelled, that’s how good it was. https://www.europeanpoetryfestival.com/nordicyork (pics below by Alexander Kell)
