Ouroborotopia is a new three-day performance festival coming to Humboldt County this summer on August 15–17, lighting up Blue Lake, Arcata, and Eureka. This festival, which will incorporate original live performances, multimedia art installations and music, takes its name from the ouroboros, the ancient symbol of a serpent eating its own tail.

Artists and audience members are invited to explore the cycles of utopia and dystopia, joy and grief, creation and collapse. In a time when the world is in flux, this festival asks: how do we build beauty, community, and resilience in the face of uncertainty?

Ouroborotopia is produced by Mystical A/V Club and proudly sponsored by the Humboldt Creative Alliance, Ink People Center for the Arts, and funded by Measure J.
