 <\/p>\n

In the 48 years that I have made theatre as a playwright, director and choreographer, I have always spent energy blending the aesthetic form with politically dramatic turning points in history that have pushed humanity into new areas. Right now, we’re living in a historic moment where a pandemic is chasing political structures into new dimensions. In times of crisis, democracy has always been threatened.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

That is why on 5 June, I have chosen Denmark’s Constitution Day as the day I walk. Although the Constitution was signed 121 years ago, it is perhaps the most important piece of paper in our lives at this moment. For me personally, it is a very important day, because this Constitution Day is the first one I will celebrate as a Dane since I got my Danish passport just a few months ago.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

And that is exactly what I want to do – to celebrate it every full hour when I meet a number of guests at a new place in town to discuss their views on democracy in relation to their own lives and the world we live in. I have invited a selection of interesting people to places that matter to them. Places that symbolize their journey, their story and their insight into the democratic theme.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The fact that I can freely walk through the city of Copenhagen shows the freedom we all take for granted. And this freedom of freedoms will be the engine behind my footsteps as I reflect on how easily it can be taken from me.<\/p>\n
