The Arts Hour on Tour comes from Reykjavik, in the week of the longest day to explore how the white nights, extreme climate and dramatic landscape shape culture in Iceland.

Joining Nikki Bedi on stage at the Tjarnarbio Theatre in downtown Reykjavik are the queen of Nordic crime writing Yrsa Sigur冒ard贸ttir, actor and star of Icelandic drama Trapped 脫lafur Darri 脫lafsson and poet and former presidential candidate Andri Sn忙r Magnason.

Plus live music from pioneering rap collective The Daughters of Reykjavik, haunting melodies from Icelandic indie band Mamm煤t and comedy from star of the stand-up circuit Ari Eldj谩rn, who explains how the Icelandic banking crisis provided plenty of material for his comedy.
