A Journey of Artistic Discovery Across Europe

Ultima 2025 - Programme released!

Organised by Ultima, Norway

Ultima has released their programme for the 2025 edition of the festival, September 11-20.

The ULYSSES Platform is proudly present at Ultima 2025 with three activities:

In Situ: Ultima Sonic Shack

Topic: What if nature comes first?
A music pavilion outside Oslo Central Station, 11–20 September.

In Situ + Young Ensemble: Dragonblood

DRAGONBLOOD is a threshold. A fever dream. When you leave, you won’t be the same.

Welcome to DRAGONBLOOD—a genre-bending, interdisciplinary festival in a game-inspired fantasy realm, where dragons, fairies, magicians and guest artists from around the world guide you on an immersive emotional quest. 🕯️🪞

Blending club culture, RPGs, opera, pop concerts, live fortune-telling and ancient tales, DRAGONBLOOD offers sword fights, digital ballads, magic potions, fallen angels—and a motivational Dragon that has been summoned.

The collective ONLY SLIME, founded by Tobi Pfeil and Claudia Cox, is currently in residence at Det Norske Teatret, Scene 3. Ultima has given them free rein to programme their own festival-within-a-festival, running from 13 to 20 September.

Joining them are performers as part of a hand-picked line-up: NEKO3 (DK), Team Rolfes (US), Kevin Peter He (CN), DJ Trick (US), Frida Marida, and actors from the theatre’s talent programme—all of whom will step into DRAGONBLOOD’s digital fantasy world at different times throughout the week. 🧝‍♀️🌿🔮🐺👁️🌘

13 September at Det Norske Teatret, Oslo.
