Regent Porto Montenegro, the luxurious retreat in the heart of Boka Bay on the Adriatic, is thrilled to welcome guests to the new Rubix Festival this summer, a curated collection of performances, music, workshops, exhibitions, entertainment, and gastronomy, drawing together an eclectic mix of people from all over the world. Regent Porto Montenegro is the ideal hub for the Rubix Festival weekend from July 28th to July 30th when the port bursts with excitement on all sides of the marina. Guests in a couple, or larger groups of family and friends, can expect a unique combination of activities over Friday, Saturday, and Sunday in a weekend of wonder. Featuring live music and electric drama, leisurely learning and literature, feasts and magical moments, colour, craft, and curiosities are here in abundance. Time to enrich the senses and feed the soul.

A true highlight of this long-awaited summer festival is a performance by the legendary actor, John Malkovich. Malkovich will perform in the play “Infernal Comedy” in nearby Tivat. The play is about Jack Unterweger, an Austrian writer and serial killer, infamously known as the Vienna Woods Killer. He was sentenced to prison in 1976 for the murder of 18-year-old Margaret Schaefer and, while incarcerated, discovered a talent for writing. He then achieved fame with his autobiographical novel “Purgatory or a Trip to Prison – Report of a Guilty Man”. John Malkovich is just one of the many incredible global performers who will take to the stage during this festival dedicated to art, film, and technology.

With its dramatic mountain backdrop and breath-taking views across the sparkling bay, Regent Porto Montenegro has an exciting weekend in store for all couples, friends, and families who have an interest in the arts - from music events, exclusive entertainment, and workshops to magicians and mindfulness, that beckon people to explore new experiences and fuel creative fulfilment.

Remarkable Regent Porto Montenegro luxury redefines the waterfront and offers an experience like no other as the pilot event kicks off a summer of fun, education, and play. Music, workshops, feasts, entertainment, dancing, and singing are designed to appeal to ages, from youngsters to older adults, in a smorgasbord of activities.

• FRIDAY The festival kicks off with headliners playing on the main stage as the sun sets over the indescribably beautiful Boka Bay. The weekend starts with an Opening Ceremony & Visual Show, the Infernal Comedy with John Malkovich, and finishing with Pucinni Opera Crossover Produced by Deepsonar.
• SATURDAY The main day of festival activity includes mentor-led workshops, music, dance, comedy, and feasts – the fascinating workshops include: Wine Tasting, Jewellery-Making, Performance Art, 3D Printing, Sculptural Welding, Singing, Music Production, Ecology, Body Paintings, Art, Design, and Cookery. The evening will consist of Vienna Calling by Platform K+K Ensemble, Morcheeba Band, and Francesco Tristano Piano & Electronic.
• SUNDAY The final day is Family Day and a more chilled affair with morning yoga, a lazy brunch, a kids' picnic, and story-time pods. For those hoping to finish this fun-filled weekend with a party, the evening visual extravaganza consists of two DJ Sets, ending with the Superstar DJ.

In addition to the exciting performances taking to the stage, a collection of fascinating exhibitions will be installed at the Naval Heritage Museum and Open Space Exhibitions. Perfect for those seeking a dose of culture, installations include a VR Exhibition, painter Hana Dujmović, artist Rikardo Druškić, composer Regis Original, multi-media artist Piros, audio-visual display Iregular.IO, audio-visual performance Cosmodernism, and FVU (Students of Visual Art) where students will hold an exhibition as part of their semestral exam.

A stunning marquee at the entrance to the shipyard hangar will host a daily feast, a ticketed affair that will see lavish dining and creative and fun twists on traditional dishes: Friday night supper party, Saturday summer lunch, and Sunday family brunch. Food trucks will be positioned around the festival site for guests who would like a casual snack.

Regent Porto Montenegro has its magical culinary world for guests enjoying the hotel's sophisticated setting at the heart of the festival. The authentic taste of the Adriatic can be explored at each of its four restaurants and bars:

• Murano Restaurant: Inspired by Boka Bay with fresh seafood prepared using local herbs and spices perfectly infusing the taste of the countryside with the coast.

The gastronomic journey will be enhanced by the pop-up performances which will be scattered around the Rubix festival site to surprise and delight guests of every age. Magicians, street performances, urban parkour, theatre, debates, body painting, and historic submarine tours are all on the agenda.
